Services

Molds, dies and parts built under one roof

We design, program, machine, assemble, fit and spot every tool in our Wallaceburg facility, so one team owns the job from the first quote to the day it ships.

What we build

Core services

01

Plastic injection molds

We design, build and maintain high-precision plastic injection molds engineered for tight tolerances, excellent surface finishes and fast cycle times. From single-cavity prototypes to complex multi-cavity production tooling, our molds use balanced runner systems and optimized cooling to eliminate sink, warp and flash. Our in-house toolroom also provides full-lifecycle support, including preventative maintenance, polishing and fast engineering changes to maximize press uptime.

Diecast molds

We design, build and maintain custom diecast molds engineered for high-pressure, low-pressure and gravity casting. Using premium H13 tool steel and optimized thermal management, our molds deliver consistent parts, fast cycle times and long tool life in demanding production environments. From initial mold flow analysis to preventative maintenance and engineering changes, we keep your casting operations running at peak efficiency.

Trim dies

We design, build and maintain custom trim dies engineered to cleanly shear gates, runners and overflow flash without distorting your castings. Built with hardened tool steels, custom-contoured nests and balanced pressure pads, our dies deliver burr-free edges and repeatable datum accuracy shot after shot. We also provide full-lifecycle maintenance, including precision resharpening, laser welding and insert replacement, to keep your trim presses running with minimal downtime.

Made-to-print parts

We provide high-precision made-to-print machining on advanced 3-, 4- and 5-axis CNC machining centres equipped with FCS zero-point clamping, part probing and automated tool probing for unmatched setup repeatability. Our team routinely machines complex geometries in tough alloys and pre-hardened materials, including Dievar, H13, Inconel and stainless steel, to tight print tolerances. We also specialize in high-accuracy finish machining of 3D-printed metal inserts, making sure conformal cooling channels and critical mating surfaces meet exact production specs.

Keeping tools in production

Repairs, engineering changes and maintenance

Repairs, refurbishment and preventative maintenance plans for plastic and diecast tooling. Engineering changes start with a detailed feasibility study of the existing tool.

We receive tools built overseas, inspect them and bring them up to your specifications before they go into production.

Mold assembly designed in Cimatron CAD/CAM software

CAD/CAM design

Outsourced tool design and NC programming in Cimatron. Part feasibility analysis catches undercuts, missing draft and poor fill areas, and mold flow analysis sets the gating.

Our process

From quote to shipping

One team manages your tool from quote to delivery, so you always know who to call.

01

Review and quote

We go through your part data, timeline and press details, then send a quote.

02

Design

Part feasibility and mold flow analysis, then full tool design in Cimatron.

03

Program and machine

Cimatron toolpaths, cut on our 3-, 4- and 5-axis machines and boring mills.

04

Fit, polish and spot

Skilled toolmakers assemble, fit, and spot every tool in-house for flash-free production.

05

Inspect and ship

Scanned and checked against CAD in PolyWorks, then delivered ready for production.
