Our Process:
-
Comprehensive Mold Design and Build:
Our team of experienced designers & engineers works with you to understand your specific requirements and create customized mold designs with both Conformal/Additive Tooling and Traditionally Cooled Tooling.
-
Moldex3D Simulation:
We run rigorous simulations using Moldex3D to test and prove the value of Conformal/Additive tooling, ensuring that we manufacture molds that are both highly efficient and cost-effective.
-
Unit Mold Testing:
If the simulation proves value for Conformal/Additive Tooling, we build 2 single cavity-unit molds, one using Conformal/Additive Tooling and the other using Traditional Cooled Tooling to test this value in the physical world of molding.
-
Design and Build Production Mold:
If the unit mold tests further prove value, we design and build the production mold.
-
Biodegradable Resins:
We can work with you to pair our innovative mold designs with biodegradable resins. Most of these resins tend to cycle longer which takes advantage of the improved cooling.
