Part design assistance

  • Design optimization: Using our knowledge of materials and molding, we can recommend changes to decrease cycle time, prevent cosmetic issues, and reduce product cost.
  • Manufacturing feasibility: We’ll let you know if your design can be reliably manufactured to your specifications. We’ll point out areas that present risks and recommend solutions.
  • Material evaluation: We’ll help you select resins that give you the characteristics you need at the lowest cost.

Mold design expertise

  • New mold designs: We excel at tool designs that ensure trouble-free manufacturing and high molded part accuracy. We’re fluent in SolidWorks, MasterCAM and all major design software.
  • Molding cost reductions: We’ll suggest part design modifications to reduce tooling costs, while supporting all critical features of your part.
  • Mold evaluation and maintenance: Our understanding of tool design and function allows us to troubleshoot any quality issues during production, and make necessary tool or process changes.
