Polymeric Tooling

What is polymeric tooling...

Polymeric tooling uses a mold of composite material for forming a variety of substrates including aluminum sheet metal. This type of tooling offers an improvement over the traditional metal dies currently used.








What we do...

American Trim uses Polymeric tooling to offer its customers rapid prototyping. In today's competitive market there is a constant demand for reduction not only in product development and tooling cost but also in time to market. With polymeric tooling we can take your design and using a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine build a mold in less than two weeks.

With polymeric tooling we can offer many advantages:

  • Quick prototypes because machining is easier
  • Tooling allows for quick changes
  • Expendable tool can do runs of up to 10,000 parts
  • Allows for low volume runs at a lower cost
  • Lightweight and easier to move
  • Reduces lead time by up to 75%
  • Molds limited only by design
