DESIGN & ENGINEERING: HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

A-1 leverages technology with experience to cut design and engineering lead times. Chances are good that at one time or another we’ve built a mold something like the one you need now.

This gives us a jump start towards finding your optimal solution plus insights that, occasionally, may even enable us to suggest small part changes to improve mold efficiency!

A-1 mold designers and engineers use 3-D modeling software to make it easier to visualize finished parts. 3-D modeling also improves coordination with CNC programmers making programming faster, with less chance for error. At the same time, 3-D modeling facilitates customer communications.

Advanced routines such as moldflow, mold-cool and warp analysis are available while Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) technology is used for reverse engineering and for qualifying key dimensions.
