Work

Case studies: dies, molds and the products they make

Real tools, real parts, real production. A selection of the dies, extrusions, medical products and machine parts we have designed.

Stamping

Progressive die for a stainless band buckle

A buckle for the stainless-steel straps that hold fiber-optic cable hardware on utility poles. We designed the complete die. It was built, tried out and is running in production.
Sheet metal

Strip nesting, details and a load-tested datasheet

Pole-line hardware engineered from blank to datasheet: strip nesting for material yield, fully dimensioned details and load tests signed by a licensed engineer.
Aluminum extrusion

Extruded solar roof mounts, simulated first

Custom aluminum profiles for rooftop solar: tile hooks and side clamps. Each one was validated with FEA before the die was cut, then prototyped and installed on real roofs.
Medical devices

Precision parts for clinical use

Products taken from CAD to the shelf: a heated stage for embryo handling, a sperm-capacitation plate developed through several prototype rounds into a boxed product, and a surgical vacuum ring.
Beyond the tool

Machines, fixtures and prototypes

Mechanical design doesn't stop at the mold base. We also design packaging-line change parts, CNC fixtures and in-house 3D-printed prototypes, so you can prove a concept before cutting steel.
