Engineered on screen before we cut metal
Every pattern, core box, mold and fixture we build starts as a digital design. Our engineers work from your part models and prints to design tooling that fills, cools and releases the way it should, and we check the design with simulation before any metal is cut. Finding a problem on screen is faster and far less costly than finding it on the shop floor.
What our engineering team does
- Designs tooling from your 3D models or prints
- Reviews parts for manufacturability and suggests changes that reduce cost and lead time
- Simulates how metal flows and solidifies, so problems show up before the tooling is built
- Prepares programs for our CNC machining centers
- Checks finished tooling against the design
