It’s a Busy Summer for RP Technologies

2023 has been extremely busy for RP. We’ve been receiving orders and issuing quotations right, left and centre. We’ve taken on projects for existing customers, as well as building relationships with companies whom we have haven’t worked with before.

We’ve been busy, busy, busy.

And it looks like there will be no respite through the summer months either.

Traditionally, things start to slow down as people go on holiday in July. But not this year.

Last month was RP’s best July on record. This follows a very strong performance in June.

Even now in August, we continue to receive new business and more fresh enquiries.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support during this period.

RP is Recruiting!

RP Technologies has been extremely busy in 2023, with increased orders and enquiries throughout the year.

To cope with this demand, we’ve expanded our workforce throughout the year by 10%.

With the volume of new orders continuing to gather pace, this upsurge in activity shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

Consequently, we find ourselves looking to expand our workforce all over again.

We are now recruiting for a new CNC Programmer to join our busy CNC machining department.

The CNC Programmer will be responsible for operating either a 3-axis or 5-axis CNC machine to perform a range of milling and turning operations on complex metal and plastic parts.

The successful candidate will be able to set up and operate the CNC machine independently, whilst working to their own initiative to complete the machining of the workpiece.

The candidate will need to be capable of reading and interpreting instructions from CAD design software, and they must also be able to machine components to tight tolerances.

Previous experience of offline programming, as well as 5-axis CNC programming, is essential. Experience of NCG software is desirable but not essential, as some training will be provided.

The role is full time, days, permanent, Monday-Friday only.

If you think you have what it takes to succeed in this role, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email your CV to info@rptechnologies.co.uk, or call +44 (0)121 550 5868.

Busy Times for RP's CNC Machining Department

RP Technologies’ CNC Machining Department is going through an incredibly busy period.

We’ve received a large amount of CNC machining projects in the past couple of months. Our 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centres have been inundated with prototype and low-medium volume production orders.

Demand has been so great that we have had to employ two new CNC Machinists to ensure that we meet our commitment on lead times.

This increased workload comes at an opportune time. At the end of last year, RP Technologies invested in a new state-of-the-art 5-axis Hurco CNC machining centre.

The #Hurco VMX60SRTi has an advanced Ultimotion feature for reduced cycle time, enhanced version 10 software, and an ergonomically designed control console.

It’s the perfect CNC machining partner for prototype or low-medium volume components.

In addition to this increased CNC activity, we’ve also seen a rapid increase in tooling orders. Things have been so busy that we’ve had to recruit new toolmakers just to stay ahead of the curve.

Our mould shop has been the main beneficiary of this increased demand for tooling, with plastic injection mouldings suddenly being required from these new tools.

So, all things considered, it’s been a busy old time at RP. Having said all of that, we’re still very much open for business!

If you have any CNC machining, plastic injection moulding, or aluminium tooling requirements, please do not hesitate to call +44 (0)121 550 5868.

Thank you for your continued support.

RP Technologies Launches New Website

RP Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of its new website, which showcases our very best toolmaking, injection moulding, CNC machining, and rapid prototyping.

RP has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years. As part of these successes, we’ve reinvested in the business at every opportunity. We’ve purchased new CNC machines, new CMM equipment, increased our workforce, and renovated our production facility.

Following these investments, we felt the time was right to enhance our commercial operations by commissioning a new website.

This new website is larger in scope than our previous website and shows off our key services in more detail. We hope it will be a useful information tool for those who want to learn more about aluminium tooling, plastic injection moulding, and CNC machining.

This website profiles each of these key service areas in detail, as well as our new fast turnaround service, RP Rapid, which supplies tooling and parts in as little as 7 business days.

In addition, there is a section which explores some of our key markets in more detail. There is also an About section which provides information on our company history and achievements, as well as an in-depth Resources section, which contains video material, company news, and technical articles about the tooling and injection moulding processes.

Please take a moment to have a look around this website. If you have any feedback you’d like to share with us, please email info@rptechnologies.co.uk. We’d love to hear from you.
