Mold storage
Tooling personnel can quickly locate customer molds using our state-of-the-art mold storage system. Molds are carefully packaged, clean and dust-free between production runs to protect your investment and help ensure you consistent parts every time.
Material handling
We take pride in our ability to provide you with consistent, high-quality parts, and our efficient material handling system plays a big role in that shared success. Resin additives and other materials are kept dry and contaminant-free to ensure we always meet your high expectations.
| Foam in place VIDEO Foam-in-place (FIP) offers a comparable, cost-efficient alternative to die-cut gaskets. Our unique FIP process allows three-dimensional beads with minimal upfront costs. The one-part foam creates a water-tight seal and cures at room temperature without requiring special ventilation. Watch the video to see FIP in action. | CLOSE WINDOW | |
White room
PANORAMA
Our 5,000 square foot white room is well-equipped for medical device projects, reel-to-reel molding and other projects that demand a clean environment. Injection molding in a completely sterile environment is also available.
