Mold Making

Design Tool and Engineering, a subsidiary of Diversified Plastics, was founded in 1984 to meet an industry need for high quality molds at competitive prices. Since 1984, Design Tool has grown from a one-man operation to a six-man shop and continues to grow.

Quality molds begin with the design and Design Tool & Engineering employs experienced personnel who are not only familiar with our CAD program, Solidworks, but many other popular programs as well. Solidworks is capable of converting designs created on other software packages, if submitted in the IGES/DFX or AUTOCAD format. This gives Design Tool the versatility necessary to work closely with our customers in the design of well-built tools.

The designer and toolmakers have extensive knowledge and experience with the injection molding process. Since we only build injection molds, fixtures, and machined plastic parts, our personnel can concentrate on this industry. The knowledge we have developed is imperative to building a mold that will not only produce a quality part once, but can maintain that same quality throughout many production runs.
