Why is mold and die making important to discrete manufacturers?
In order to compete domestically and internationally, manufacturers must deliver innovative products faster and with less cost. Mold and die shops and toolmakers are challenged with producing tooling for a large volume of designs from many customers who use a variety of CAD formats. The ability to create molds and dies quickly and accurately is important to the manufacturing process and overall product development process. Additionally, the quality of an end product depends directly on the quality of the tooling. Many products cannot be delivered economically without accurate mold and die designs and efficient machining processes. Companies that optimize their mold and die making processes can deliver more complex products faster and with less cost.
