IN-HOUSE TOOLING

Through the use of protype tooling that converts to production tooling, as well as insert tooling for quick iterations, we eliminate the need for redundant tooling changes. We also build nearly all fab tooling in-house, reducing lead times by an average of 2-4 weeks.

Convertible Prototype Tooling

One of the first steps we take when developing any new blow molded products is stage tooling. This involves assessing the feasibility of building prototype tooling that converts to production tooling.

Once the prototype tooling consistently produces parts to your specifications, we add finishing details such as vents and cooling lines to make it production-ready. The use of convertible tooling greatly improves lead times and reduces tooling costs.

Insert Tooling Technique

We use insert tooling for critical areas or areas of uncertainty that need testing and may need to be modified. The insert technique allows us to run a prototype part that you can test for compatibility and functionality. If changes need to be made, the insert is simply replaced with the updated design, saving you the cost of having to rebuild the entire mold from scratch.

Trim & Fabrication Tooling

Out of the gate, our customers gain the advantage of 2-4 week reduced lead-times on tooling as all trim and fabrication tooling is designed and built in-house; eliminating the need for outside tooling shops.
