Proper tooling design is essential to ensure the production of high-quality parts with minimal waste and maximum efficiency. As we delve into the specific application, we consider the mold design as it relates to compression molding, plastic injection molding or another molding manufacturing process we employ. We will review and ensure proper ejection or part removal, undercuts that may cause or create issues resulting in post machining operations, tolerances levels, mold surface finish, parting lines, draft angles, mold cavities, cross-sections, and gate location. All of these elements play a critical role in how your solution is manufactured. The part design and quality of the tooling is what drives our ability to create plastic parts repeatedly, holding consistent tolerances, to the correct quality level to meet every demand of the application.

There is a lot of buzz around plastic mold manufacturing for low volume production runs. At OMNI we can also utilize 3D printing technology to manufacture tooling, or molds, to produce a very small number of parts out of the production material to prove the concept. Plastic molds certainly have a place when prototyping to eliminate or minimize risk and future exposure. In addition to custom, low volume runs, OMNI also guarantees reasonable lead times so you can ensure your project will be completed on time.While many manufacturers sub out their mold making capabilities, we feel that controlling this process internally allows us to be extremely flexible and responsive to meet special requirements as they might arise. Keeping this work in house is a unique differentiator that also affords us the capabilities to manufacture ancillary components that are often required in a molded part.
