TOOLING DEVELOPMENT

From drafting boards to 3D solid modeling, we have been improving our approach to endform tooling development and growing our library of tooling design work for over 30 years. Our dedicated tooling development team works closely with our customers to achieve an end result that is favorable.

Development of your endform tooling receives the undivided attention of our Tool Development Engineers from the start of your project through PSO at your facility. Progression drawings can be prepared by our experienced team prior to tool design, while coatings, lubricants, or other recommendations may be provided throughout the design and development process and beyond.

Key Benefits:

• In-house CNC Machining facility
• Dedicated end forming machines for tooling tryout with equivalent models for every machine

Completed Design Package Includes:

• Tooling component prints
• Set-up information
• Coating recommendations
• Lubricant recommendations

Additional Development Services:

• Part progression drawings
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

We also offer short run tube end forming and end finishing using our own dedicated development machines. This service is ideal when it is more economical for our customers to employ our services in the initial stages of developing a tube endform fabrication for their own production process.
