In-House Tooling

On the Forefront of Tooling Manufacture

The only way to make a high-quality powdered metal part is to start with a precision powdered metal tool.

In our early days, there were no available sources of powdered metal compaction tooling to meet our requirements. An in-house tooling shop was a necessity. Now, even with exceptional outside tooling shops available, it is a clear-cut competitive advantage. With decades of acquired expertise, our tool design, tool material knowledge, and manufacturing capabilities are unmatched in the powdered metal industry.

Come to us with your most challenging concept drawing, and our team will produce a design for PM and a high-quality functional tool to bring your part from print into production.
