DESIGN / ENGINEERING

Innovative and experienced, our design and engineering teams are structured to provide our customers with custom support for their specific programs and projects. We stress early involvement with our engineering group, providing invaluable knowledge to improve, consolidate and take cost out of your project.

Our team consists of multiple disciplines to support every facet of your project.

Tool and Die Makers – Developing new tooling programs, that are designed with a deep understanding of what works in the shop and on the manufacturing floor, and what doesn’t.

New Program Development – a specialized team consisting of engineers, program managers, tool makers & mold makers that assist you in developing your design. Our program development experts can assist you with everything from what materials to choose, to how to best set up your program for stamping and for insert molding

Program Management – Dedicated program managers that will monitor every step of your program from beginning to end. This allows our customers to have full in house control, with the ease of communicating with one person.

Component Consolidation and Simplification – Through progressive die and mold design, our engineering team focuses on ways to simplify and consolidate components. We’ve taken program designs that originally required 6 or 7 separate steps down to 1 progressive die.

Cost Reduction Focused Designs – Considerations for multiple cost reduction areas are always examined by our design and engineering teams. Cost can be removed from several areas including material, tool and mold design, manufacturing processes and secondary process.

Material Specialists – One of the most important aspects of our design process is our ability to assist you with choosing the right plastic or metal. Our experience gives us the ability to best judge all the critical aspects of material selection for the your program.

Manufacturing Engineering Team – specializes in developing a tailored manufacturing process to provide the best efficiencies for your program.
