Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our custom mold making process
What documentation do you need to start a custom tooling project?
We work with 2D technical drawings (DWG/PDF), 3D CAD files (STEP/IGES), or even physical samples for reverse engineering. Include dimensional tolerances, material specifications, production volume requirements, and any special surface finish requirements. Our team can also work from sketches or concept drawings to develop the complete technical specification.
What is your typical lead time for custom tooling development?
Standard custom tooling projects are completed in 7-14 days from approved drawings to delivery. Simple fixtures may be ready in 5-7 days, while complex multi-station systems might require 2-3 weeks. Rush orders can be accommodated with expedited scheduling. We provide detailed project timelines during the quotation phase based on your specific requirements.
Can you reverse engineer tooling from existing parts or samples?
Yes, we offer complete reverse engineering services. Send us your existing parts or competitor samples, and we'll create 3D models, technical drawings, and custom tooling to replicate or improve upon the design. Our precision measurement capabilities include CMM inspection and 3D scanning for complex geometries. This service is particularly valuable for legacy products or when original tooling documentation is unavailable.
What maintenance and spare parts support do you provide?
Every tooling delivery includes maintenance documentation, replacement part specifications, and recommended service intervals. We maintain tooling records and can manufacture replacement components on demand. Annual maintenance contracts are available for high-volume operations. Our engineering team provides remote troubleshooting support and can visit your facility for complex issues or operator training.
Can your tooling accommodate multiple product variations or sizes?
Absolutely. We specialize in modular and adjustable tooling systems that can handle product families or size ranges. Quick-change inserts, adjustable stops, and modular components allow rapid changeover between variants. This approach reduces total tooling investment while maintaining precision across your entire product line. We'll analyze your product matrix to optimize the most cost-effective solution.
What materials do you use for tooling construction?
We select materials based on application requirements: hardened tool steel for high-wear applications, aluminum for lightweight fixtures, stainless steel for moisture resistance, and engineered plastics for non-marring contact surfaces. All materials are chosen for durability, precision, and compatibility with wood processing environments. Surface treatments like hard anodizing or chrome plating are available for extended tool life.
