Prototype Sample info Sheet

So you need a "Prototype" sample; What’s right for you?

Product designers, application engineers, and entrepreneurs are often in need of initial samples for 3D visual representation of a new component, or to test new components in the application prior to finalizing designs.  These early samples are commonly referred to as "prototype" samples.  Many prototype options are available when the prototype samples are needed.

Tool Transfer Considerations

From time to time, you are forced to choose alternative sourcing options for projects. Industrial Molding Corporation has successfully converted over 500 transfer tooling projects since 2001. We utilize our fifty years of experience in mold design and plastic processing to evaluate the project, diagnose problems that affect performance of the project, recommend alternatives to improve underperforming programs, or suggest options to speed the transition when critical supply channels must be maintained.
