The in-house design department at Jepson Precision Tool utilizes state of the art design software to provide 3D Product and 3D Mold Design services typically not available from most mold-makers.

As one of the first companies to purchase and use Pro-Engineer software for mold-making, Jepson Precision Tool has many years experience designing complex 3D parts and tooling.  One of our biggest selling points in the design department is that we have been able to push the limits of our mold designs with complex shapes, surfaces and shut-offs...So much so that our customers have come to recognize us as a tooling resource for projects that others are just too inexperienced to handle.

Mold Flow Analysis

When designing and building injection molds it is critical that all consideration is given to insure that the molded parts are filled properly and that injection cycle times are reduced as much as possible for maximum productivity.  For this reason, we offer C-Mold flow analysis as an additional service for any project we design and build.

Depending on the complexity of the part or tool, we may recommend Mold Flow Analysis to help minimize any issues that could surface during the injection process.

By performing a detailed Mold Flow Analysis we are able to view computer rendered images of the injection process from start to finish.  Often times this helps determine runner and gate size which can ultimately affect part quality.  Venting and cooling are additional items that Mold Flow Analysis gives us an opportunity to address prior to the production tool being kicked-off.

Once the 3D design is approved and completed, we will translate the 3D model we’ve created to CNC machine tool cutter paths for a “lossless” translation from “screen to steel.”

As an initial and often cost-savings solution, Jepson Precision Tool is willing to serve as a resource and/or project consultant to help in determining the best route to take for your tooling.  Often times this is during the product’s initial development phase and well before any hard tooling decisions have been made.

Part development, prototyping, and production tooling all go hand-in-hand at Jepson Precision Tool…want to know more about our 3D Part Design and 3D Mold Design capabilities?  Give us a call at (814) 756-5639.  We’ll be happy to discuss your next project with you.
