Four things we do. All of them before, during and after the steel is cut.

We are not the mold shop. We are the engineers between you and the mold shop. That is the point.

Tooling project mgmt

Your mold program, run end to end

Supplier selection, DFM sign-off, steel, T0 to T2 trials, FAI, shipping. One owner. Weekly reports you can forward.

Molding consulting

Second opinion before you commit

Quote reviews, tool audits, failure analysis and process troubleshooting from someone who has stood on the press floor.

Moldflow analysis

Fill, pack, cool, warp, before steel

Gate location, cooling layout and warp prediction so the first trial is a confirmation, not a discovery.

Part design and DFM

Parts designed to come out of the mold

Wall sections, draft, ribs, bosses, gates and tolerances fixed in CAD, where changes cost hours instead of weeks.

Built by our partner shops. Managed by MoldMinds.

Automotive, medical, consumer electronics and industrial programs. Hot runner, 2K, overmold, multi-cavity. These are the shops we put our name behind.
