Did you know that in addition to precision CNC machining prototyping and low-volume production services, Summit CNC commonly machines tooling for customers?

Specifically, our team can CNC machine molds for customers interested in sourcing custom molds from here in the US. With companies increasingly looking to minimize supply chain risks by reshoring their manufacturing operations, we are here to fulfill the demand for custom mold making services.

Custom Mold Making Services for Manufacturing Customers 

If you’re an OEM or contract manufacturer that produces your own molded parts or products, you know that the quality of the molds themselves is critically important to the final outcome. This is where we come in. Your company’s engineers design the mold and send us the requirements, and then our team makes the mold in our precision CNC shop—right here in Denver, Colorado.

How Summit CNC machines top-quality molds quickly and cost-effectively 

On our shop floor, you’ll find premium equipment for manufacturing your precision CNC machined molds with efficiency and excellence. While there are other methods to create production-quality molds (such as casting), CNC machining is the superior solution for making molds with smooth surfaces. 

To ensure the highest-quality molds, we maintain two mills with 15,000 RPM spindles, allowing us to machine aluminum and steel molds with impressive speed. Mold making typically requires significant metal removal and slow feed rates—and as is standard in precision machining, the longer the machining time, the higher the costs. With our fast-spindle mills, we can machine molds faster than most shops, resulting in better costs and lead times for our customers. 

Mold Types

Summit CNC regularly machines molds for injection molding and compression molding: 

• Injection Molding. For high-volume or mass-produced identical parts, injection molding is a terrific solution. We make each mold to your specifications with carefully formed cavities. This mold style gets injected with a molten material or “charge,” which, when cooled, forms your part or product.

• Compression Molding. Ideal for high-volume composite components, compression molds are made to close around the charge, with the excess material overflowing into grooves in the mold. Custom machined to your design specifications, our compression molds produce high-caliber parts that meet your exacting standards.

Need custom mold making services for a different type of mold? Talk to us! We recently machined special lamination molds for a window manufacturer and are happy to machine whatever type of mold you need.
