We create molds using top-quality materials, meeting precise dimensional specifications. This method guarantees exceptional repeatability, even during high-speed operations. The majority of our molds comply with the Class 101 standard set by the Society of Plastics Industry. We offer various tooling choices for prototyping or low-volume molding:
- Aluminum
- Tool Steel
Tooling Process for Injection Molding
At Bruin Manufacturing, we design and fabricate molds from premium materials to exact dimensional requirements. This approach ensures unmatched repeatability even when operating at high speeds.
Nearly every mold we fabricate adheres to the Society of Plastics Industry’s Class 101 standard. As the SPI’s highest mold category, Class 101 tooling offers the following benefits:
- Allows 1 million cycles or more
- Constructed of premium tool steel
- High production level
- Withstands fast cycle times
Injection Mold Tooling Capabilities
One-off, small batch or research and design projects can benefit from our prototyping or bridge molds, which are optimized for lower volume or temporary production needs. Developed to produce finished products with the same consistency as our traditional tooling, but not designed for 1 million cycles or more, these molds are less expensive to manufacture. These cost savings are happily passed onto our clients.
To ensure molds maintain their desired characteristics even under fast cycle times, Bruin Manufacturing utilizes exceptional materials. Mold bases are manufactured from lightweight but corrosion resistant stainless steel. Hardened tool steel inserts and cores provide robust strength.
At Bruin Manufacturing, we stand behind our injection mold tooling. Every mold we manufacture is warranted for the life of the product.
A superior mold is crucial for achieving quality, production and cost objectives. Take your injection-molded component and assembly manufacturing to the next level with Bruin Manufacturing.
