Tooling Design
Production aids that are inexpensive to build and easy to maintain.
Build cost matters as much as function.
Tooling exists to make production parts, so every dollar spent on the tool is overhead. We use standard hardware, sensible tolerances and geometry your machine shop can make without special setups.
Made to be maintained.
Where wear is expected, we design replaceable details so the tool can be serviced instead of rebuilt.

Files open in any CAD system.
Design for manufacturing
Every project starts with a DFM review: tolerances only where they matter, standard components before custom ones, and geometry that's simple to make.
Do you design dies or molds?
No. We focus on jigs, gauges, nests, end-of-arm tooling and similar production aids.
