DFM Engineering: We perform a thorough design for manufacturability review to catch potential flaws before they become expensive mistakes.
A Success Story: Solving the High-Altitude Warp
We recently worked with a tech company based right in the heart of Colorado Springs. They were developing an outdoor sensor housing meant to be mounted in rugged mountain terrain. Their previous molder was struggling with a major issue: the parts were warping and cracking due to internal stresses and the intense temperature swings of the Rockies.
Our Michigan-based team took a look and realized the cooling circuits in the mold were not optimized for the material’s shrink rate. We re-engineered the tool at our Michigan headquarters and switched them to a UV-stabilized, glass-filled polymer.
The result? The failure rate dropped from 15% to nearly zero. By serving this Colorado Springs client from our Michigan facility, we provided the specialized engineering they could not find locally. Today, their sensors are thriving in some of the harshest environments in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does serving Colorado Springs from Michigan work for logistics?
It is actually smoother than you might think. We have a streamlined national logistics network that ensures your parts arrive in Colorado exactly when you need them. Often, our high-volume capacity means we can produce and ship parts faster than local shops that are bogged down with backlogs.
Can you handle medical-grade or aerospace molding?
Absolutely. We specialize in precision complex molding for aerospace and defense. We provide full material traceability and material certifications for every shipment we send to Colorado Springs.
What resins do you recommend for the Colorado climate?
The high UV levels in Colorado Springs can make standard plastics brittle. We often suggest ASA or high-performance polycarbonates with UV inhibitors. We analyze your part’s end-use environment to make sure it lasts.
Do you offer rapid prototyping for local startups?
Yes. We can move from your CAD file to a physical “bridge tool” or prototype in just a few days. This lets you test your design before you commit to full-scale production tooling.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a fully licensed and insured manufacturing facility with decades of experience serving highly regulated industries.
