Precision Tooling
Precision tooling is the process of manufacturing various components used in the manufacturing industry. These include molds, dies, tools, and other critical components involved in production machinery.
Instead of standard parts, manufacturers choose precision tooling to get customized, particular components. Parts made with precision tooling are designed with highly accurate specifications and are made to handle heavy-duty, repeated use.
Why Tooling Is Important in the Manufacturing Industry
Many industries require unique and highly detailed components to produce their products well. Precision tooling allows for highly accurate designs with precise measurements, using advanced technology such as automation and computerized components.
With these precision components, manufacturers can more efficiently produce accurate products with less waste, which can help reduce labor and material costs. They're also better able to meet their customers' needs by fitting specific measurements and designs. That can help increase sales and set the manufacturer apart from competitors. Relying on precision tooling also allows your business to innovate with new, creative products.

Precision Tooling Processes
Precision tooling starts with the design phase, often using computer-aided design software to create the model.
Next, a prototyping phase may be used to test the design and ensure it works on a larger scale. This step allows adjustments to be made before the parts are manufactured.
Once the design is finalized, the manufacturing process can begin. Different manufacturing methods may be used depending on the situation. CNC machining is a standard method that uses milling and lathe processes. Complex shapes or hard materials may require electrical discharge machining. After production, the parts are assembled and reviewed for quality control.
