Tooling and Injection Molding
Meet your production needs with injection molding
If you’re looking for high volume production, injection molding may be the manufacturing process for you.
This traditional method creates high quality end-use parts with versatile materials – all in a repeatable process.
Whether you need low-volume prototype tools or hardened steel production tools, or need additional add-ons for challenging geometries, our knowledgeable tooling engineers can help.
HOW IT WORKS
An overview of the injection molding process
It all begins with a CNC machined tool or mold.
Our experts manufacture a mold from your CAD part and drawing files that leaves a cavity where the part will be injected. The injection mold machine then injects heated material pellets into your mold at a high speed and pressure.
The mold separates, leaving an injection-molded part. This process can be repeated for thousands of cycles.
