Precision Composite Tooling Manufacturing
Composite Tooling and In-House Mold Making
Engineered Composites Incorporated (ECI) combines production molding services with in-house tooling and mold-making capabilities, enabling us to streamline your project while ensuring superior quality at every step.
Our mold design experts work closely with customers to develop and maintain custom tooling that meets both their design requirements and volume expectations. In-house tooling design and project management, combined with our state-of-the-art compression molding capabilities, provide you with a one-stop source for all of your production needs.
Quality Assured from Design to Tooling to Final Delivery
High-quality molded composite parts begin with precision-built molds and tooling. ECI’s in-house tooling and mold-making capabilities allow us to deliver your parts faster, more efficiently, and with higher consistency. Simultaneously, we eliminate the complications of relying on external tool shops, potentially losing control over future design changes and/or extending your delivery timelines.
From complex multi-cavity molds to custom fixtures and jigs, ECI’s tooling department is seamlessly integrated with our engineering and manufacturing operations. That means fewer delays, more reliable results, and a seamless transition from concept to prototype to production.
Minimizing Your Lead Times and Streamlining Your Supply Chain
When tooling is outsourced, lead times grow longer, revisions become more expensive, and quality control becomes fragmented. ECI eliminates these challenges with an internal team of experienced toolmakers, designers, and process engineers working side by side – ensuring every tool is purpose-built to meet the exact requirements of your molded product.
What ECI’s In-House Tooling Process Offers Your Project:
- Accelerated Your Timeline – No delays waiting on external suppliers or overseas logistics: ECI achieves near 100% on-time delivery performance.
- Faster Design Revisions and Product Iterations – We respond rapidly to feedback and implement in-house changes swiftly to keep your project ahead of schedule.
- Enhanced Process Control – We manage every stage of the tool’s lifecycle, from design to maintenance.
- Close-Tolerance Repeatability – Tools are optimized for our machines, ensuring part repeatability and performance.
- Efficient, Reliable Production Molding – Reduced downtime, rework, and scrap through purpose-fit tool design.
- Maintenance and Repairs for Your Tooling – We also provide tool maintenance and repair for customer-supplied molds and tooling running at peak performance and meeting your expected volume requirements.
