Rapid Tooling
Get easy design feedback and validation through superior quality prototype tooling. Create small batches of plastic molded parts with excellent injection molding prototypes. We excel at manufacturing prototype molds within days to ensure you perform functional tests and validate market interest.
Our molds with steel cavities and cores typically have a shot life of 1,000 to 5,000 shots and can be manufactured within two weeks.
Production Tooling
We create high-quality production molds for high-volume plastic parts production. With high-strength, durable tool steel material, our production tooling is suitable for producing hundreds of thousands of parts. We can vary materials and construction methods according to your unique requirements.
Our high performance steel tool is capable of enduring up to 10,000 shots, and generally parts can be produced within 3 weeks.
We offer a broad range of thermoplastic and thermoset materials, each selected for its performance characteristics and suitability for different applications.
