Rapid Part Solutions
Our rapid part solutions deliver engineered components within tight deadlines using advanced 3D printing, silicone tooling, and CNC machining. We specialize in producing functional prototypes for validation testing and engineering reviews, supporting both single components and complex multi-part assemblies. With dedicated overnight production capabilities, we ensure critical project milestones are met without compromising quality or dimensional accuracy.
Prototype Tooling Solutions
We create precision aluminum tooling for plastic injection, blow molding, and RIM processes with accelerated lead times. Our vertically integrated operations enable complete tooling and molding within a single facility, supported by mold flow analysis and feasibility studies. Specialized capabilities include multi-shot tooling, structural foam molds, and complex lighting component tooling for automotive applications.
Low Volume Part Production
Our low-volume production system combines flexible manufacturing with ISO 9001:2015 quality controls for volumes ranging from single units to thousands. We implement right-sized tooling strategies that minimize capital expenditure while maintaining scalability. Our PPAP-certified processes include 100% inspection protocols and custom packaging solutions for automotive, medical, and industrial components.
Assembly Services
We provide low-volume, high-mix assembly solutions with modular manufacturing cells and proprietary nesting systems. Our capabilities include vibration welding, hot-plate welding, and sonic welding for complex assemblies. Skilled technicians perform 100% quality inspections prior to shipment, supported by engineering feasibility reviews for assembly process optimization.
Chemical Foaming Tooling
Our chemical foaming (CFA) tooling solutions produce lightweight, durable components using open-pour and compression molding techniques. We develop specialized tooling for automotive seating, insulation components, and industrial parts requiring controlled density and structural integrity. The process integrates with our rapid tooling capabilities for accelerated development cycles.
