FAQ
Common questions
What is the difference between aluminum and steel tooling?
Aluminum tooling may suit prototype or lower-duty programs, while steel tooling may support higher-duty production. Final selection depends on resin, geometry, finish, volume and validation needs.
Can I bridge tool and production tool from the same design?
The same design intent can often be transferred, but tooling material, cooling, gating and manufacturability adjustments may be required before production release.
Do you support overmolding?
Overmolding and insert-molding requests can be reviewed. Substrate, elastomer, bond interface and molding sequence must be confirmed for the project.
