Design, Create, Transfer, Repair

At Aprios, we specialize in in-house tool design, modification, and repair, and we are often able to help our customers cut costs and lead times. Our flexible sourcing options, both domestic and offshore, cater to your unique needs. With our Tooling DFM (Design for Manufacturability), we streamline design to improve part quality and consistency. We also perform tool validation on all tools  to prevent and resolve defects, while our expert team ensures a seamless tool transfer process, bringing you back to quality production efficiently.

Experts in Tool Design

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in tooling focuses on optimizing the design of molds to enhance the efficiency and quality of the injection molding process. By considering factors such as ejection and cooling, gate placement, mold flow analysis, draft angles, and part consolidation, we ensure that the tooling is tailored to produce high-quality parts with minimal defects. Our DFM expertise helps in reducing cycle times, improving product durability, and minimizing production costs, ensuring an efficient manufacturing process.
