Precision injection molding solutions
Exacting standards in precision injection molding
Design for injection molding
We specialize in Design for Injection Molding (DFIM), ensuring optimal manufacturability and part quality. As an ISO-certified provider of engineering and custom injection molding, we prioritize DFIM to mitigate risks like wall thickness issues and part damage from ejection methods, resulting in smoother production and higher-quality outcomes. Our approach integrates DFIM into the product development process, optimizing designs to reduce costs, simplify production, and enhance overall quality. Our expert engineers collaborate closely with clients to anticipate issues and maintain design intent, ensuring seamless execution and superior results.
In-House tooling
High quality tooling ensures the precise and consistent production of molded parts. Our in-house team of tooling experts specializes in injection molding design, mold flow analysis and tooling for microfluidic applications. Using advanced tooling technologies, the tooling team can develop molds with complex geometries, tight tolerances, and intricate designs, specifically for industries that demand a high degree of quality and precision.
Tailored molding solutions
We understand that achieving optimal product performance begins with selecting the right molding technique early in the design phase. At SCHOTT MINIFAB, we ensure that our clients have access to the precise tools needed to bring their innovative designs to life. From standard to precision, vario-thermal, and 2K injection molding, we offer a diverse suite of molding technologies, chosen to address specific project requirements.
