Tooling Manufacture

PPI started its industrial life as a specialized tool-making enterprise and hasn't looked back. Having made the decision to machine molds in QC7 aluminum and then use its expertise to build steel and hybrid molds, over twenty years of experience has gone into the knowledge base and PPI has an intimate understanding of both the potential and limitations of the materials. There are three distinct approaches to tooling at PPI:
 
 

 

Prototype Molds:
Designed to demonstrate profitability and production potential PPI will work with the customer on a 'unit tool' until the part is correct.

Production Molds:
High volume, high efficiency and low maintenance molds are PPI's forte. It should be noted that if PPI produces the parts in their facility all maintenance and warranty work, including mold rebuilds is not charged to the customer.

Hybrid Molds:
Hybrid molds are a PPI specialty. Using dissimilar metals for molding purposes, usually to ensure a rapid cool-down of the part and thereby increasing cycle time and boosting production, PPI has perfected this manufacturing technique and is an acknowledged industry leader in the technology.
