Tooling & Molds

Matrix Enterprises machines and manufactures prototype and production tooling, molds, and mandrels for various fabrication applications. These include:

  • Carbon fiber, fiberglass, and other composite layup production
  • Vacuumforming and thermoforming
  • Pressure forming
  • Compression molding

Using CAD/CAM and engineering expertise, Matrix can design tooling and mold surfaces based on your part files, or we can work directly from customer-supplied tooling or mold files. We use CNC machining to manufacture the tooling and molds and can provide the required mold surface finish for your specific application.

We work with a wide range of materials including:

  • Aluminum
  • Epoxy and Urethane Tooling Boards (Renshape, Rampf, Trelleborg, and others)
  • Tooling Foam
  • MDF and Wood
  • Plastics
  • Proprietary materials supplied by customers including ceramics and composites

Tooling and molds will be highly accurate. Using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and highly accurate laser scanning capabilities, Matrix can assure a high degree of accuracy for your tools and molds.
