Services
Patented PERC System
The PERC System replaces hydraulic unscrewing with programmable servo motors for high-precision, sanitary mold operations. This patented technology enables unlimited thread configurations and integrates seamlessly with electric molding machines. Customers benefit from reduced maintenance, faster cycle times, and FDA-compliant clean-room capabilities for medical and food-grade applications.
Mold Manufacturing
We design and build complex injection molds for medical devices, automotive parts, and consumer goods. Our capabilities include unscrewing molds, multi-action tooling, and thermoset molds with tight tolerances. Advanced 3D modeling ensures accuracy while in-house testing validates performance before delivery to clients globally.
Rapid Prototyping
Tool steel prototype molds are produced in as little as three days for functional testing. These durable prototypes allow accurate production simulation, engineering changes, and PPAP validation. Clients receive cost-effective solutions for low-volume runs or as backup production tools.
Short Run Production
Our facility handles pilot production runs from 50-200 ton presses with quick changeovers for color or design updates. This service bridges prototyping and full-scale manufacturing, enabling clients to test markets or validate automation processes before large investments.
3D Solid Modeling
Using 3D CAD databases, we optimize part designs for manufacturability and re-engineer existing products. Full assembly drawings and material specifications ensure precision. This digital approach reduces errors and accelerates time-to-market for complex molded components.
