Tool and Mold Making

Base plates, fixtures, molded parts

Requirements

What this industry demands.

In tool and mold making, dimensional accuracy, flatness, and surface finish are critical. Base plates, fixtures, and mold inserts must be manufactured with precision and reliably inspected. With 5-axis machining and in-house metrology, we manufacture them in close coordination with your design engineering team.

Strengths

Our strengths here

Single Setup

Simultaneous 5-axis machining keeps tolerance stacks tight and prevents distortion caused by reclamping.

In-House Metrology

A climate-controlled measuring room and gantry CMM deliver inspection results without external service providers.

Wide Range of Materials

From structural steel and heat-treated steel to aluminum—with fully documented cutting parameters.

Single Parts and Small Batches

Manufacturing to drawing specifications, with no low-quantity surcharges.
