Accurate information is essential to produce a quality product. After an order is placed our design and project managers will work with you to produce a detailed and efficient design utilizing the latest solid modelling design software and technology.
- All new projects begin with a customer supplied solid part model, or if not available, we can create a solid part model for customer approval.
- We can utilize existing paper drawings, foam samples, working models, or simply a part concept to create accurate solid part models and/or mold layouts.
- We can import your supplied data and specifications in a variety of electronic formats.
- We can reverse engineer or verify existing products with state-of-the-art 3D digitizing equipment.
- We utilize SolidWorks to produce production details and identify potential problem areas. On a mold build, solid modeling allows identification of specific mold details; such as interference issues, ejection concerns, proper cooling, water drainage and/or other problems.
- Issues identified and visualized at the design stage enable adjustment prior to the actual production process.
- Once a design has been approved and released, production instructions are prepared to ensure an accurate project completion.
- Precise shrinkage and draft are tailored to customer specifications.
- Pattern and casting solid model configurations are produced in SolidWorks.
- Close tolerance CNC machined patterns are built from Ren-Board, wood, or aluminum
- Quality aluminum castings are produced in our in-house casting facility.
- All castings are poured from A356 primary alloy.
- The no-bake process is utilized to produce aluminum castings ranging from 1lb. to 500 lbs.
- We can produce prototypes, one-offs, or short-run production castings.
- The casting finish is excellent with many completed EPS molds shipped “as cast” with only minimal cavity polishing required.
