Jig Boring for Mold Base Accuracy
Mold performance and durability depends on mold base quality, and hole making is a crucial step in the process.
Read MoreHand Scraping Craftmanship
Hand scraping is the process of using either a manually or motorized-driven scraping blade to remove very small amounts of metal from a precision surface to eliminate high spots left behind from the machining process.

Cryogenic Machining Eliminates Moldmaking Conundrum
As moldmaking material gets harder and more expensive to cut, suppliers are “caught between a rock and hard metal,” balancing production costs with customer needs. Cryogenic machining with through-tool liquid nitrogen makes production of longer-lasting molds efficient and affordable.
