It pays to do the math... If your mold is not heating correctly (e.g., not reaching the required temperature due to faulty cooling channels, design or poor maintenance), your cycle time will lengthen. Longer cycle time = higher cost component.

We get it right—for you!
Molds are controllable devices where performance can change dramatically due to many variables. Understanding mold physics is key to our philosophy—providing you with the best! This starts with engineering planning. Picking the right type of tool, size, cavitation, and components to meet your production needs is what we do! We've seen it.

Features
Through our rich history we have built long standing supplier relationships to design and build tools to augment our ability to build them in-house. Through the use of CAD and design software we work with your teams all throughout the build process to ensure constant communication. Upon building or tool transfer, we will run samples and evaluate both the mold and part to determine if the mold is performing to expected standards or if modifications need to be made. If necessary, we then make recommendations and the essential adjustments to ensure the mold meets your rigorous requirements. Once we have established that your mold is performing to its full capability, and you have approved samples, we move into production. We service tools in-house with our dedicated team. We take pride in caring for your property.

Steel Injection Molds

High quality, precision parts from any mold...
We have used traditional steel injection molds since first opening. Like most molders and tool makers, it's a comfort zone for high quality and long lasting tools, steel molds continually provide a reliable way to create injected molded parts and remain the preferred method of molding for many applications. What's in it for you? Steel molds last much longer than aluminum molds. Therefore, if you have high volume, complex parts, steel is the metal for you. It pays to consider your volume and processing requirements!

➤ Steel molds can run over 1,000,000 parts with little wear
➤ Depending on your volume, it typically makes more sense to run one steel mold for every 1,000,000 parts (vs. two aluminum molds at 500,000 per mold)
➤ Steel also has a much larger density (7.75-8.05 g/cm3) versus aluminum (2.7 g/cm3) and can withstand more aggressive processes and harsher materials

Aluminum Injection Molds

Specializing in Aluminum Molds since the 1980s, we have developed the expertise and experience to take on any challenging aluminum injection molding job. What's in it for you? Aluminum conducts heat 4–5X more efficiently than steel which melts the resin quicker and speeds up cycle times. It pays to do the math!

We love a challenge. And because we understand aluminum injection molding through and through, we're not intimidated by any challenge. Trust us. We know how to save you money with aluminum tools. Parting line locks, hardened steel slides, hot tips, hard coatings and many more tricks we've learned over the years.

Peace of mind has never been this easy
We have transferred thousands of molds and tools since 1945. We make the transfer of molds easy for buyers and engineers by taking care of all of the details for you. You can rest assured that "Your projects will be well-managed by OP"!

What's more? We offer you the opportunity to leverage our knowledge and expertise simply to ensure you're getting reasonable pricing on your current projects—across all of your products and all of your vendors. We call it our "Market Basket Quotation." Simply submit information (e.g., specifications, tooling) on your present injection molded components and we'll send you a no obligation quotation for comparison. Why do we do this? Because you may be considering vendor diversification and we want to be at the top of your list.

We can accept your tools/molds to run your production parts. Transferring tools can be a difficult experience. We are in control, so you can relax! We will bring tools to our facility, evaluate them, offer enhancements, if needed, take digital images of cavities/cores, setup up the mold and run samples, and optimize the molding process with you.
