Mold Machining

At DEVELOP LLC, we’ve perfected the tolerances required for inner geometries, micromachined detail, heat stresses, and unblemished contours required for thousands or millions of injection cycles for inch and half thick range plastic products. Whether you are looking for a single mold thermoforming prototype, mass production of silicone molds, or scaling up protective overmolding for your electronics, DEVELOP LLCs engineering machinists, project managers, and manufacturing experts can bring micromachined detail to your nonferrous batch manufacturing mold. We realize the maximum potential of mass-produced simple plastic household items and gummy candies just as easily as aerospace circuitry overmolding.

Molding to Perfection

We guarantee that whether your mold must meet the requirements of food, rugged industrial parts, automotive, circuitry, wiring, aerospace, or medicine, your mold will anticipate and mitigate sink marks, voids, flashing, part sticking, weld lines, burns, warping, short shots, discoloration, delamination, and jetting. Our molds treat micromachined detail, industrial art aesthetics, and high-performance output as minimum requirements. When you work with DEVELOP LLC, you get firsthand interaction, professional evaluation of your project, and complete ownership of intricate mold development designed to conceive your ambitions for mass production.

Thermoforming

When you need quick prototyping and product development for low volume, nonferrous molds for plastic products in a wide range of sizes, we recommend our Thermoforming molds. Our thermoforming mold technology mitigates part and fixture stress to the point that your thermoformed plastic parts cool strong enough to replace parts ordinarily made of steel. One thermoforming mold can complete single small parts, large plastic molding projects, or a family of parts at the same time. You can take the thermoformed parts made by our molds to any industry including but not limited to medical, food, and rugged industrial.

Our thermoformed molds can be easily modified for detailed micro texture, can support application specific mold materials and strength differences, and can thermoform sheets of plastic material with prefabricated colors. You can eliminate the costs of protracted start up tooling, after production detailing, and painting to get the shortest lead on your prototype.

Silicone Molding

When you need to bring high quality to your small quantity urethane casting services, our project managers, machine specialists, and engineers know how to swiftly create the mold to meet the needs of your silicone products. We design Silicone molds for maximum durability, minimal flash, flexibility, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, biostability, shrink mitigation, consistency, and quality of your product. We’ve come a long way since we started with our first gummi candy molds, we’ve perfected putting industrial machining, sub machining, and micromachining detail into every mold.

Overmolding

Improperly secured casing can shorten the lifespan of the most expensive and integral equipment on the production floor. Even the most primitive analog systems require some level of environmentally sensitive wiring, circuitry, or compact computer assisted circuit boards. We engineer protection, insulation, and safeguarding into molds perfect for overmolding delicate microchips, wire bonds, and circuits. When you stake your entire production process on custom industrial hardware or custom circuit board design, you need to guarantee low pressure mold protections that can boost your quality, reduce downtime, and cost effectively meet your standards.
