Two engineers. One Moldflow license. Every quote we send.

We're a manufacturer, but we're an engineer-led one. Anthony Gross runs the floor as Chief Engineer, and we keep two full-time design engineers on staff. They review every quote, run Moldflow analysis on the parts that need it, and walk customers through Design for Manufacturability — DfM — before tooling is cut, not after.

01 What we do

Six services. One outcome: 
a part that runs the way it should.

— 01

Design for Manufacturability (DfM)

Reviews of part geometry, draft angles, gating, wall thickness, and feature placement before tooling design begins. We catch the problems that show up at first shot — six weeks earlier.

— 02

Moldflow analysis

Fill simulation, packing analysis, cooling analysis, and warpage prediction using Moldflow Plastics Advisers. Output: a documented recommendation, not a black-box answer.

— 03

3D CAD support

We work natively in STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Inventor, and AutoCAD. Send what you have. We'll convert, clean, or rebuild.

— 04

Re-engineering of existing parts

Cost reduction, weight reduction, supplier-exit recovery, end-of-life resin substitution. We salvage parts that have problems, and rebuild them so they don't.

Reverse engineering

Working from samples, broken parts, or scans. We capture the geometry, document the design intent, and produce manufacturable drawings.

— 06

Material selection consulting

Resin recommendations grounded in load case, environment, regulatory needs, and budget. We pull on supplier technical services when a complex spec calls for it.

02 The DfM review

What our engineers actually look for. 

A 90-minute first-pass review covers the issues that cause 80% of tooling rework. It's free. We do it because catching a problem at the CAD stage is fifty times cheaper than catching it at first shot.

Geometry & tooling

  • — Wall thickness uniformity (target ±10%)
  • — Draft angles on every vertical face
  • — Sharp corners, stress concentrators, and ribs
  • — Gate location and number
  • — Cooling and ejection paths
  • — Undercuts and side actions
  • — Threaded inserts and over-molded features
  • Material & process

  • — Resin selection vs. application requirements
  • — Shrinkage estimates and warp prediction
  • — Fill pressure and clamp tonnage estimates
  • — Cycle time targets vs. wall thickness
  • — Regulatory grade availability (FDA, NSF, UL)
  • — Color-match feasibility
  • — Regrind and recycled-content compatibility
  • 03 What you’ll get back

    A document, not a phone call.

    Every DfM review concludes with a written summary you can share with your team. It includes:

  • — Specific geometry recommendations with annotated CAD screenshots
  • — Resin and color recommendations with rationale
  • — Estimated cycle time and tonnage requirement
  • — Tooling complexity assessment (single cavity, multi-cavity, family tool)
  • — Risks flagged for attention before tooling commits
  • If the part isn't a good fit for our shop, the review will say that, too. We'd rather lose a quote than lose a customer's confidence.
