GW Plastics is one of the few injection molders to offer the significant benefits of in-house mold design-and-build on a global scale. With the state-of-the-art mold building capabilities in both our North American and Asia operations, maximum efficiency and quality is achieved by using highly standardized design practices, highly automated work cells and global cross-training.
Building precision tooling requires advanced technological capabilities, a zero defect culture and the highest levels of design integrity.
GW Plastics internal mold design-and-build capabilities ensure that customer applications will perform as designed not only at production launch, but consistently throughout the life of the program.
GW/PT™ features:
- Zero-defect tool DFM approach
- Advanced material flow and shrinkage analysis
- Quick turn-around prototype support
- Prototype-through-production
- Single cavity bridge tooling for pre-production launch
- High cavitation precision tooling for volume production
- Conventional, Multi-shot, Rotary and Shuttle Insert, Gearing, Micro, Stack tooling capability
- Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) expertise
- Conventional and hot runner systems
- Cavity pressure transducer technology
- Polishing and texturing
- In-house tooling validation in our RJG certified tryout Technology Center
Additionally, we are experienced in the design and build of molds for Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR). We understand the differences and complexities of silicone tooling and have developed a robust tooling standard to ensure that very fine details and tight tolerances are maintained for years of trouble free production. In many cases, we are able to use interchangeable, high quality cavity inserts in a common mold base to provide cost and time-effective tooling solutions.
