Tooling & Engineering
Our tool room designs and builds molds and dies for both plastic injection molding and die casting, and repairs or modifies tools already in production — including tools transferred from other suppliers.
Typical applications
- New mold and die builds for injection molding and die casting
- Mold/die repair and modification
- Tool transfer qualification from other suppliers
- EDM and wire EDM detail work
Process overview
- 1
Design review
Tool design is reviewed against part geometry and expected production volume before cutting steel.
- 2
Build
Tools are built and sampled in-house.
- 3
Qualification
First articles are measured against the print before production release.
- 4
Ongoing maintenance
Production tools are maintained and repaired as needed to sustain part quality.
Part design considerations
- Tool steel and cavitation should match real program volume
- Design changes to an in-production tool should go through the same DFM discipline as a new tool
DFM guidance
- Confirm production volume and tolerance requirements before tool class is finalized
Quality controls
- First-article inspection
- Tool maintenance and wear tracking
Secondary operations available
- EDM and wire EDM
- Mold polishing and texture repair
Frequently asked questions
Do you only build tools for your own production, or as a stand-alone service?
Both — most of our tool room's work supports parts we'll also mold or cast, but we'll discuss stand-alone tool builds, repairs, and transfers on request.
