PLAM
Tooling & Molding

Mold builds and 50T–1200T injection molding.

Steel and composite molds machined in-house on Makino and Mikron CNCs, Sodick wire EDM, and Agie-Charmilles precision EDM — then molded on a 35-press fleet from 50T to 1200T.

PLAM-produced cosmetic housings, automotive trims, and structural polymer parts

Cosmetic housings, automotive trim, and structural polymer parts.

Multi-channel hot runner tooling, servo-driven demolding, and inline visual QA for parts that ship straight to your assembly line.

Clamp force estimator

Estimate clamp tonnage and cooling time.

Set projected surface area, wall thickness, and resin. We'll suggest a press from our active fleet and a rough cooling cycle. Final routing always comes from an engineer review.

The PLAM Advantage

By consolidating tooling blueprint fabrication, high-tonnage synthesis, and secondary surface finishing inside a single plant, we eliminate hand-off errors.

01

Precision Mold Production

Our tooling cell designs, machines, and spot-checks custom steel and composite molds. Tolerances down to ±0.005mm prevent parting line flash.

02

High-Capacity Injection Molding

Continuous 24/7 automated injection molding on the in-house press fleet. Multi-axis robot pick-and-place units optimize cycle times.

03

Post-Process & Component Assembly

Chemical passivation wash, decorative graphic silk printing, electrostatic multi-alloy bonding, and mechanical assembly for complete modules.

Injection press fleet

35 in-house presses plus partnered high-tonnage stations
