Tooling

Our tooling department is fully staffed and committed to providing the best possible molds. The tooling department has an open-door policy with engineering where all critical aspects of the mold are extensively discussed prior to the start of the project.

Acorn-Gencon provides parametric solid modeling and design capabilities. We use Solidworks software, AutoCAD, and a variety data types including IGES and DXF formats. We provide complete mold designs including assemblies, details, and full 3-D solid models for CNC programming and electrode fabrication. Solid modeling gives us the option of creating direct SLA models for pre-manufacturing of tooling.
