Tooling - Injection Molds
Our tooling department is what our company was founded on. We take pride in our ability to provide plastic injection molds that produce high-quality plastic parts. By utilizing aluminum and softer steels we are able to meet even the tightest of project timelines. Elite’s tooling and engineering department will work side by side with your team to ensure the best mold for the job. We can provide design-for-manufacturing and mold flow analysis to give you an idea of what the tool will produce. Along with projects involving new tooling, we also have the capability to make any engineering changes in-house if necessary. We are also able to review customer-specific tooling requirements and make sure we build a mold to fit your press if you just want us to qualify the mold and ship it to your facility.
