Epoxy tooling is an inexpensive mold making process that produces prototype parts out of production material. This process is ideal for short-run projects, bridge tooling and UL testing. Product development engineers have recognized the benefits of this tooling process when they need customer and market evaluation samples.
Final parts are injection molded out of production materials,
allowing you to see, feel and test your product!
IMPM has spent the last 7 years devoting time and energy to improve the epoxy tooling process. We are one of the few houses that can create high quality production parts using this process and have worked extremely hard to improve the reputation of epoxy tooling by proving over and over that it can be done and be done right!
Applications Epoxy Tooling is Most Actively Employed:
- Field testing production materials
- UL approval prior to completion of production tools
- Low quantity production
- Complex parts requiring hand loaded inserts
- Shrinkage evaluation of production material
- Accelerated life testing
- Packaging completion prior to production part completion
