EXPLORE OUR PROJECTS
From Tooling to Finished Parts.
Discover products across six manufacturing processes, from prototype tools to molded and machined components.
AUTOMOTIVE CASE STUDY
Automotive Interior Parts for High-Volume Production.
Injection-molded interior components developed for automotive production, with a focus on consistent part quality across repeated manufacturing cycles.
- Industry
- Automotive
- Process
- Injection Molding
- Application
- Interior Components
Manufacturing Focus
High-volume production calls for repeatability. For interior components, appearance, dimensional consistency and reliable fit are key considerations when planning tooling and molding.
RAPID TOOLING CASE STUDY
A Prototype Tool. Delivered in 10 Days.
A rapid tooling project completed in just 10 days, helping the customer move into product validation and shorten the development cycle.
- Process
- Rapid Tooling
- Tool Type
- Prototype Tool
- Project Purpose
- Product Validation
Earlier Access to Validation
Completing the prototype tool within the project timeline helped the customer advance design validation before the next stage of development.

CNC MACHINING CASE STUDY
Complex Geometry. Precision Machining.
A complex aluminum impeller manufactured using five-axis CNC machining, with a focus on precision and surface quality.
- Component
- Aluminum Impeller
- Material
- Aluminum
- Process
- 5-Axis CNC Machining
Manufacturing Focus
Curved blades and narrow spaces between features make tool access an important consideration. Five-axis machining allows the cutting tool to approach the geometry from different orientations.
DIE CASTING CASE STUDY
Lightweight Housing. Built for EV Cooling.
An aluminum die-cast housing developed for an electric vehicle cooling system, combining reduced weight with structural strength.
- Industry
- Electric Vehicles
- Material
- Aluminum
- Process
- Die Casting
- Application
- Cooling System Housing
Manufacturing Focus
Cooling system housings require careful attention to wall geometry, mounting features and mating surfaces. These considerations help guide tooling and production planning for the component.
COMPRESSION MOLDING CASE STUDY
Flexible Material. Reliable Sealing.
A medical-grade silicone sealing component produced through compression molding, with a focus on reliable performance and consistent part quality.
- Application
- Medical Sealing Component
- Material
- Medical-Grade Silicone
- Process
- Compression Molding
Manufacturing Considerations
For silicone sealing parts, material selection, molded geometry and parting-line control are important considerations when planning the manufacturing process.
Consistent Quality Reliable Performance
SHEET METAL FABRICATION
Custom Enclosure. Designed Around the Equipment.
A sheet metal enclosure concept for industrial control equipment, bringing ventilation slots, connector openings and mounting features into a compact housing.
- Application
- Industrial Control Equipment
- Component
- Custom Equipment Enclosure
- Manufacturing Route
- Cutting, Bending & Assembly
Manufacturing Considerations
Connector cutouts, bend positions and mounting holes need to work together after forming. Cover fit and fastener access are also important when reviewing the enclosure for assembly.
