Restore your tooling with a traceable technical scope.
Maintenance is structured from diagnosis through final validation, documenting findings, work performed, spare parts and recommendations.
Is your mold failing? Signs it needs a diagnosis.
Flash on the parting line, parts out of tolerance, marks or scratches that were not there before, water or steam leaks, closing or ejection problems and longer cycles. The sooner it is checked, the smaller the intervention usually is.
It depends on the condition of the cavities, the affected components and the production the mold still has to deliver. A technical diagnosis compares the scope of a repair or overhaul against building a new mold. See how to make the call.
We service tooling for the processes we build, such as plastic injection, EPS foam, blow molding or rotational molding, subject to diagnosis.
If a mold component is discontinued or has no drawings, it is reproduced through reverse engineering and spare part manufacturing.
Types and scope.
Inspection of condition, symptoms, history and dimensional or functional status. Ideal for: Before deciding on repair, modification or overhaul.
Scheduled work for cleaning, inspection, adjustment and upkeep. Ideal for: Production molds with defined cycles or intervals.
Repair of failures that affect tooling operation, quality or safety. Ideal for: Damage, leaks, interferences, wear and failed components.
Teardown, evaluation and complete restoration within a documented scope. Ideal for: Tooling with accumulated wear or loss of performance.
Changes to geometry, systems, components or settings for new conditions. Ideal for: Product, equipment, process or performance changes.
Technical data sheet.
Diagnosis, maintenance, overhaul and modifications
Subject to the existing tooling and scope of work
Compatible with the original mold materials
Dimensional report, functional validation and maintenance plan
Actual capacity subject to technical validation based on geometry, weight, material, tolerances and process.
How we work.
We gather symptoms, defective parts, process parameters, previous maintenance and available documentation.
We evaluate external and internal condition and record findings within scope.
We prioritize the activities, spare parts, risks, lead times and validations needed.
We carry out cleaning, fitting, repair, machining, welding, component replacement or modification.
We reassemble and verify dimensional or functional condition as the project requires.
We document the work done, open items, maintenance plan and operating conditions when applicable.
Technical considerations.
Used molds may reveal hidden damage after teardown; it must be handled through approval of additional scope.
It is worth linking the damage to alignment, mounting, process parameters, cleaning, lubrication, cooling and operation.
Discontinued components can be reproduced through reverse engineering, scanning, machining or casting.
Dimensional report, functional validation and maintenance plan are defined according to scope and trial availability.

Common questions.
Do you maintain molds from other manufacturers?
Yes. We provide support for third-party tooling, subject to diagnosis.
What is the difference between maintenance and overhaul?
Maintenance covers defined activities; an overhaul involves a more comprehensive inspection and restoration of the tooling.
Can you make spare parts for the mold?
Yes, through machining, casting, welding, scanning and reverse engineering, depending on the component.
What should you send for a quote?
Photos, mold identification, process, failure, history, dimensions, weight, drawings, defective samples and availability for inspection.
Capabilities involved in a repair.
Rebuilding worn or damaged mold areas.
Inserts, guides and replacement components.
Objective wear measurement against the original condition.
Reassembly, shut-off fitting and surface finishing.
Reproduction of discontinued mold components.
Send photos of the mold, the failure and defective parts.
