Pro-Mold has worked with large companies, small companies, and entrepreneurs to help them develop their products to meet their functional and quality requirements. With over 100 years of combined experience, the Pro-Mold team has the expertise to get your products to market at the best cost possible.

Pro-Mold knows the best way to design plastic parts for the intended use of the part, optimal quality, and the customer’s desired manufacturing cycle. Pro-Mold’s designers assess the customer’s part design to ensure its fit to other components and manufacturability.

Pro-Mold's mold development process starts with a three-dimensional, parametric, solid model of the product which defines requirements for the production tool. Through concurrent engineering techniques, construction of the production tool can begin before the product design is finalized.

Whether the customer needs hundreds or hundreds of thousands of parts, a Pro-Mold-designed part:

• Takes advantage of the right molding material.
• Fits the application perfectly.
• Can be manufactured quickly and efficiently at the best quality.

Case Studies

Below are case studies demonstrating how Pro-Mold can help you develop, design and manufacture your idea or reduce your cost on your existing products.

Product Development and Material Selection Pac Barrier (Windflex): Pac-Barrier came to Pro-Mold with an idea for a spring loaded sign base to keep their customers advertising banners taught in the wind. Working closely with Pac-Barrier engineers, Pro-Mold selected a resin and designed the product and tooling to manufacture all of the base components. The successful result is the Windflex Product introduced in the spring of 2008.
Cost Reduction Toner Recovery Bottle: A large document company was producing a blow-molded toner recovery bottle that fit into several of their products. The bottle manufactured in this fashion was costly and prone to quality fallout issues. Working with the customer's engineers, Pro-Mold suggested an injection-molded solution which eliminated some of the other components required in the finish assembly as well as the need for secondary operations. With no quality fallout and reduced cycle times, the resulting Pro-Mold solution saved the customer thousands of dollars each year of production.
Hendrick Motor Sports Air Scoop: Using an air flow and part design developed by Hendrick engineers, Pro-Mold design and manufactured tooling and injected-molded clear polycarbonate parts to produce the air scoops that are used in all of the Hendrick motor sport cars.
Metal to Plastic Conversion Foot Leveler: Pro-Mold helped transform a part designed as a die cast into a more economic solution that required structural integrity to hold up to over 300 lbs of force day in and day out. By redeveloping the part geometry and selecting the proper materials, Pro-Mold produced a strong ABS plastic part that exceeds the customer's initial metal part requirements.
