Quality Designs and Custom Solutions
Our designers work with clients to develop versatile products to suit their unique needs. We use CAM Pro/ENGINEER software to create detailed product blueprints, and then we custom design all necessary tooling with CAD for optimized accuracy and turnaround.
We use the latest statistical process control methods to ensure our machines operate at maximum efficiency, allowing us to quickly and qualitatively fill your orders. Additionally, our familiarity with the latest Six Sigma management methods ensures that our employees are always abreast of the latest developments concerning your product, with strong interdepartmental communication skills allowing us to translate your requests into reality.
To safeguard our customers’ competitive edge, we keep all tooling and manufacturing processes confidential throughout the manufacturing process, regardless of whether we signed an NDO.
Advanced Mold Design for Higher Quality Components
We create quality, large-volume products by harnessing intuitive machine design on a massive scale.
For example, we produce O-rings by working with customers to design compression molds in accordance with their material, diameter, and thickness requirements. Then, we create an uncured medium from the desired material and pour it into the mold. Through a combination of pressure and time, the material cures, forming desired O-rings for small- and large-volume orders.
Sometimes, clients require us to efficiently create many different O-rings of varying strengths and tolerances at the same time. In these cases, we work with the customers to design transfer molds according to their requirements. We first design a bottom plate with the desired specifications of each O-ring type. After pouring uncured material in the bottom plate, we use a flat top plate to force the material in the mold, creating a number of different products at the same time.
We don’t shy away from taking the time needed to design the perfect mold for your application. Once we have achieved the mold design, our facilities can efficiently turn out any volume of products as your business needs.

Simple Compression Mold for O Rings
- Uncured material is placed between mold plates
- The mold is closed, material cures
- The cured material is removed, the cycle begins again
Simple Transfer Mold for O-Rings / Simple Transfer Mold for a Disk
- Uncured material is placed in the upper chamber (the “pot”)
- Bottom plates are closed first for best alignment
- The top plate is forced down. Material travels into the cavity
- Cured material is removed, the cycle begins again
