In precision part manufacturing, tooling refers to creating molds and fixtures necessary for shaping and forming components with exacting specifications. These tools ensure consistency, accuracy, and efficiency throughout the production process. Our injection mold tooling solutions encompass a range of techniques and materials tailored to meet the specific needs of each project, ultimately enabling our clients to achieve the highest standards of quality and performance.
Benefits of Accurate Tooling for Precision Parts
Accurate tooling ensures consistent and precise replication of parts, minimizing defects and maximizing product quality. With precise tooling, manufacturers can achieve tight tolerances and intricate designs, enhancing the overall performance and appearance of the final product. Additionally, accurate tooling streamlines production processes, reducing waste and increasing efficiency, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved competitiveness in the market.
I.F. Associates: When Accuracy is Paramount

We excel in troubleshooting problem molds and designing low-cost molds for both simple and complex parts, regardless of quantity.
Our expertise includes manual unscrewing, hand loading, inserts, and multi-resin molding at competitive tooling costs. Additionally, we offer rapid, low-cost tooling and parts to meet tight deadlines.
Mold Building
Injection mold building offers several advantages, including the ability to produce complex geometries with tight tolerances, consistency in part quality, and the capability to use a wide range of materials. This process is a versatile and cost-effective solution for manufacturing plastic parts.
At I.F. Associates, we specialize in industrial injection molding, leveraging over four-plus decades of expertise and the latest technology to produce flawless molded plastic parts tailored to your exact specifications.
The type of mold utilized will significantly influence part costs. We recommend single-cavity molds to support initial product development and testing. And then move on to higher cavitation tools to help reduce part cost and establish consistent processes. Moreover, our inclusive mold maintenance program safeguards part quality and extends mold lifespan allowing for years of problem-free molding.
We develop plastic parts for various industries, including medical, optical, electronic, and electro-mechanical sectors, all proudly made in the USA.
Services We Offer
We follow a meticulous process adhering to robust quality assurance standards:
- Mold Creation: We create molds in specific shapes based on your drawings or CAD files to facilitate production.
- Injection Process: Plastic is fed into an injection unit, heated, and injected into the mold.
- Cooling and Hardening: Once the mold is filled, the plastic is cooled down and hardened to form the desired part.
We offer comprehensive support, from design to prototyping:
- Design Assistance: Our design engineers can help create CAD files or conceptual drawings if your plan still needs to be finalized.
- Prototyping: Prototypes are created to provide a tangible representation of your product, ensuring alignment with your vision.
- Full-Spectrum Support: Beyond manufacturing and assembly, we guide you through every step, ensuring your dream design becomes a reality.
