New Molds
Built By Experienced Toolmakers.
Tool & Die Making is the process of designing, machining, assembling, testing, and preparing a new injection mold for production. A successful mold must be built to precise specifications so it can consistently produce quality parts, support efficient production cycles, and meet the requirements of the intended application.
Mantz Automation builds custom injection molds for manufacturers that need reliable, production-ready tooling. Our experienced toolmakers combine engineering, machining, assembly, polishing, and EDM capabilities to support your project from initial requirements through final mold completion.
