We take seriously our customers’ investment in tooling and we understand the value that robust tooling can add to a program. We are proud to be an integral part of the product development process and we take complete ownership of the specification, design, build, and preventive maintenance of our customers’ tooling.

New Tooling/Revisions
Design Molded offers a fully equipped and staffed new construction department. We work closely with our engineering staff from the initial design concept to the detailed mold design to enhance robustness, manufacturability, and maintainability. We manufacture tooling components directly from the solid model designs by translating tooling geometry to our machining centers and high speed graphite mills. We have full wire EDM and sinker EDM capabilities along with various finishing services such as surface grinding, diamond polishing, and final fitting.
