B efore a precision tool is signed over to a production facility, it needs to be proven in a production setting. Being close to the manufacturing environments enable us to test the tooling in an economical fashion. Not only must the tooling work as intended as far as its process is concerned, but it must also produce the desired part. Most precision tooling requires some adjustment at this stage to either work effectively, or produce a part within the desired tolerances. Mould makers examine the part produced from a mould to determine if it meets the dimensional tolerances and desired appearance required.
Teamwork is an important ingredient in precision toolmaking.
