Tooling Drawing Click for complete drawing

Tooling Design is another way we excel over other product design firms. Typical product and industrial design firms lack the expertise of plastic tooling design. We at 2N2 Product Development have our own tooling design engineer on staff. Eighteen years of tooling design experience along with expertise in mold debugging and processing gives us the ability to produce good parts in a timely and efficient manner. This means optimized tool build lead times, and lower cycle times, which translates to lower cost per unit for our clients!

During the product design phase, our tooling engineer will begin creating and recommending mold tooling design concepts. This saves time upfront! Once our client has approved the product design, the 3D geometry data is electronically transferred to the tooling engineer who completes the production tool design. We pay extra attention into cooling design, gate size, and using proper shrink factors. The tool design data is then electronically transferred to the moldmaker, who develops the tool paths for CNC machining. 2D drawings are only provided as a reference! Many tests are performed on the mold prior to running production, such as mold & runner balance, and part balance. This insures the best, possible part off the mold!

We also provide the following support:
