Plastic injection mold manufacture is a highly competitive operation. Today’s products have shorter lifecycles. Injection mold making is nearly always a very challenging profession, and this has never been more true than today. Shrinking markets, global competition, new technologies and a vanishing skilled work force all contribute to the challenge.

   The old days of one mold maker doing virtually everything required are long gone. The jobs are just too complex and the lead times too short to allow for this antiquated method. With all the technical advances in the last twenty or so years, the old ways have been replaced by a much more integrated and efficient approach.
