Mold Making

A tool shop is only as good as its EDM and its toolmakers. Ours runs mould steel from raw block to a tried tool without leaving the building.

A tool shop is only as good as its EDM and its toolmakers. Ours runs mould steel from raw block to a tried tool without leaving the building.

We build single and multi-cavity tools, family tools, stack tools and insert tools, plus stamping dies and silence moulds for liquid silicone. Gate, runner and cooling layouts are reviewed with you before any steel is cut, with a mould-flow report showing fill pressure, weld lines and predicted shrinkage.

Electrode design is where the schedule is normally lost. We machine graphite and copper electrodes on the same night the cavity surfaces are finished, so deep ribs, undercuts and text fall into a predictable cycle instead of a scramble.

Frequently asked

Yes — weld, re-cut, add slides or convert a single cavity to two. Send us the tool and the drawing.
You do, once paid. We record the tool number, provide the drawing set and store it with maintenance logs if you want repeat production here.
