Algus specializes in thermoform tooling
to accompany our Algus made thermoformers.
This turnkey approach ensures quality, dependability and customer
satisfaction.
The process of mold production begins with a design. This
can either be done completely by us or imported from customer
files into our CAD system using a variety of different formats,
including DXF, DWG, PRT, CADL, and IGES. From there, the geometry
is manipulated and exported to our Computer-Aided Manufacturing
software, where the mold program is written. This CAM system
provides the ability to cut virtually any shape imaginable
with both two and three dimensional surfaces.
While manufacturing is the most important step in the mold
production process, it is also the least time consuming due
to our comprehensive preliminary work. Because Algus is a full
service manufacturing we can draw from a variety of different
machining capabilities including CNC mills,
CNC turning, and manual machining such as milling,
turning, grinding, and plate sawing. This gives us the opportunity
to be more versatile not only in the styles of molds we produce,
but also in the ways in which we produce them. In addition,
we retain an extensive inventory of aluminum plate, ranging
in thickness from 1/4" to 5 ". If material outside
this range is required, it can be custom ordered with a minimum
lead time. |
