We have injection mold makers with experience in design of complex and multi-cavity injection molds. We conduct our own DFM review, stress analysis, and mold flow analysis. We can connect you to North American Molders with high-volume highly automated operations resulting in highly reproducible parts with low contributed labor costs. We can connect you to fabricators with experience in a wide array of composite manufacturing techniques. High quality communications from the same time zone are important to avoid project delays, rework, or other issues. Of course, the reduction in shipping costs and wasted time on complex logistics is a huge opportunity to create value.
