Tool & Mold Making

Tooling is where programs succeed or fail. We source mold makers that specialize in injection molds, progressive stamping dies, and die cast tooling. Moldflow analysis and DFM review on the front end, so issues are caught on paper, not on the shop floor. Tool lifecycles are tracked so we know when reconditioning is due.

Lifecycle
Spare inserts manufactured with main tool; reconditioning coordinated

When it fits

  • Any program that will run injection molding, stamping, or die casting at volume
  • Projects where tooling quality dictates long-term cost per part
  • Programs needing documented tool validation (T1 reports, dimensional samples)

When it does not

  • Low-volume programs where 3D-printed tooling or machined prototypes would suffice
  • Single-use or disposable programs

Common materials

H13 tool steel · P20 pre-hardened · S136 mirror-polish · NAK80

Typical lead time

Injection mold (Class 103): 8 to 12 weeks. Progressive die: 10 to 16 weeks.
