TOOL SAMPLING

Thermoplastics
& Elastomers

Tooling plays a crucial role in the manufacturing process, enabling the production of precise and high-quality parts. Custom Mold & Design builds tooling that supports products using thermoplastics and elastomeric materials as they service the need of many industries from medical devices to defense and aerospace. Custom Mold & Design’s ability to build tooling specifically tailored for these materials allow us to provide customized solutions to our customers.

TOOL SAMPLING

Liquid Silicone Rubber
(LSR) Molding

Custom Mold & Design is at the forefront of meeting customers’ needs in various industries by offering liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding capabilities. LSR injection molding is a specialized process that involves injecting liquid silicone rubber material into a mold cavity to produce high-quality molded components. Here are some of the capabilities that Custom Mold & Design provides:

  • Reduced cycle time
  • Controlled flash
  • Capability of producing over-mold components
  • Multi-shot silicone components

With these in-house capabilities, Custom Mold & Design is prepared to meet the diverse needs of the customers in the medial, industrial and aerospace and defense industries.

TOOL SAMPLING

Micro Molding

In partnership with our family of Velosity companies including Teamvantage and MMD Medical, Custom Mold & Design is continuously refining its expertise in providing precision micro-molded components and assemblies. Precision micro-molding involves the production of extremely small and intricate components with tight tolerances.

Custom Mold & Design is focused on delivering first-rate molds and tooling that will produce high-quality components and assemblies ensuring our customers are meeting their product specific requirements.
