Most of our new designs are made following a customer request. In this case we received a request for a single-decker bus similar to our double-decker mould #2217.

We started with a rough sketch, which we scanned into our computers where we draw what are called vectors based on the original sketch.

This enables the computer to understand our drawing and give us the ability to scale it to any dimension and to allow us to give it a third dimensional shape.

This computer shaping may take hours or days depending on the complexity of the design.

When we have achieved a final acceptable shape, we send the file to another computer for preparing it for machining on our CNC machine.

The machining of our master takes many hours with multiple drill changes to pick up the fine detail for which our moulds are becoming well known.

Following the machining the master is then mounted, numbered and prepared for vacuum forming.
