MoldMaking Technology’s 30 Under 30 Honors Program shows off the next-generation of talent making an impact across the mold manufacturing marketplace. Their stories are impressive and their energy is incredible! Working on this program has only increased my passion for this community!

  • “I am a moldmaker and I do everything every day. It is always different.”

  • “I love working with my hands and machining.”
  • Being in 10 different places at once within this small company.
  • 3D software and CNC was mind blowing to Jacob.
  • Today’s shop is a like a lab not a factory.
  • Thrives on fixing tools with a little reverse engineering.
  • Understanding mentoring is a two-way street.
  • Working hard and learning are key to success.
  • Wants to follow in his great grandfather’s footsteps and own a tool shop one day.
