Vision
Our Vision is to become a global leader in the purposeful application and use of 3D printed steel inserts for injection molds in the Medical, Packaging, and Pharmaceutical industries.
Mission
Mission Statement: To be exceptional in mold design services that focus on engineering, and the strategic use of printed metal inserts, and inspection services to enhance a mold's productivity and improve the molded part quality.
Strategy
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.
Benefits:
- Packaging & Pharmaceutical Molds: More efficient cooling drives shorter cycle times which yields more parts per hour.
- Medical Molds: More efficient cooling drives less part variation, which yields more statistically capable parts.
- Packaging, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Molds: Greater environmental sustainability with biodegradable resins.
Over 100 combined years of mold design, processing, & mold engineering.
