MOLD DESIGN, BUILD, AND DEVELOPMENT
Precision and quality control are integral from the outset of mold design at Penn United. Customer drawings undergo meticulous analysis to ensure compatibility with mold design criteria. The selection of thermoplastic resin is scrutinized to verify that its characteristics align with customer requirements. Factors including shrinkage rate, tensile strength, chemical resistance, wall thickness, thread or rib configurations, and gate locations are thoroughly assessed.
Penn United utilizes SolidWorks for mold design and GIBBSCAM for cutter paths, ensuring precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Since all mold fabrication is conducted in-house at Penn United, we maintain continuous control throughout the mold building process. Our rigorous use of state-of-the-art fabrication equipment guarantees that the mold for your part adheres to all specifications, ensuring an inherent and uncompromising quality.
With a dedicated tool room to support mold component manufacturing, Penn United’s mold facility has access to a huge selection of CNC-Vertical Machining Centers, Wire and Sink EDMs, CNC lathes, and precision grinders across our entire precision metals manufacturing enterprise.
