Mold & die design services for Michigan tool shops

From Macomb and Oakland counties to Grand Rapids, Michigan shops build tools for automotive, appliance, furniture, medical and consumer products. When the build schedule is full but the design desk is the bottleneck, we add senior design hours on your clock.

Why Michigan shops work with us

  • Your time zone

    We work Eastern Time, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM — the same working day as the Lower Peninsula. Review calls happen in your morning.

  • Your standards

    Inch or metric, ASME Y14.5 GD&T, DME / HASCO / PCS components, or your own shop standards and title block.

  • Your price, up front

    Fixed-price packages in US dollars, so you know the design cost before you quote the tool to your customer.

What we design for Michigan shops

Design only — your shop builds the tool. We take the design load off your team so your toolroom keeps running.

Questions from Michigan shops

Are you located in Michigan?

No. Our senior team is based in Brazil and works US Eastern business hours, the same working day as Michigan. Brazil is one hour ahead of Michigan in summer and two in winter, so calls happen in your morning and questions get answered the same day.

Do you build the tools?

No. We design; your shop builds. That keeps us on your side of the table: we add design capacity to your shop instead of competing with you for the build.

How do you keep our files confidential?

We sign your NDA (or ours) before any file changes hands.

What file formats do you deliver?

Native CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor or AutoCAD) plus STEP / Parasolid and PDF drawings, in inch or metric, with ASME Y14.5 GD&T.
