Tool and mold making | Injection molding and die casting

The right choice of tool-making

Because the right mold determines the quality of your products, the responsibility for the quality of your products lies with the mold-maker.
The biggest challenges with housings are avoiding unsightly sink marks in the material and ensuring tightness against water ingress. We have decades of know-how in the field of plastic injection molding and aluminium die casting of housings. Thanks to global sourcing in tooling combined with our own tool maintenance and repair department, we can guarantee the required quality at reasonable prices. Our engineers provide support as early as the part design stage to ensure optimal results and avoid unnecessary loops. Depending on the requirements of the parts, delivery time and the quantities needed, you can choose between aluminum tools or steel tools so-called "soft or hard tools".

Soft/Hard-tool – Fast to market with Soft-tooling

Aluminum molds – Soft-Tooling

Customized injection molded housings on your table in just a few working days? Soft tooling combines the properties of rapid prototyping and plastic injection molding. Aluminum tools, so-called soft tools, are produced very quickly and are suitable for small and medium quantities.

Steel tools – hard tooling

For larger quantities or very demanding parts, steel tools - "hard tools" - are the optimal solution. High accuracy, durability and high quality surfaces are characteristics which are achieved with steel tools.
We will find the right tooling solution with you. Send us your sketches or 3D data and ask us.

Mold flow analysis – simulation of the injection molding process

Modern 3D CAD systems and the prototypes created from them provide early insights into the later product. Also in mold making it is important to save time by avoiding later and unnecessary adjustments.
Mold flow analysis is particularly helpful for this. It simulates the flow of the material during the molding process of the housing. More precisely, how the liquid plastic flows into the mold, cools and hardens. Mold flow analysis can show the shape of shrinkage, warpage, sink marks and air pockets. The findings from this are immediately incorporated into the mold design. Unwanted side effects are thus reduced even before the first injection process.
