Capabilities

Mold Trials & Qualification

All new plastic injection molds built by i2-tech undergo an intense mold trial and qualification process to ensure all part dimensions are correct and the mold functions properly. i2-tech utilizes scientific injection molding to establish consistent, repeatable plastic injection molding process parameters to control the molding process and ensure consistent quality parts are produced at a lower overall cost. Our Quality department is equipped with the latest and most advanced measurement technology which enables us to condense the amount of time required to measure and analyze new customer parts. This helps us achieve best in class delivery times on new mold approvals.

Mold Transfer Programs

With a staff of over 130 years combined experience, i2-tech has the right combination of tools and knowledge to assist our customers in making plastic solutions that are efficient and profitable. We have successfully managed numerous mold transfer programs, including over 200 molds from May to July of 2020. With the help of our Customers and Suppliers, we demonstrated the ability to inspect, integrate, sample, and obtain part approval within just a few weeks, all while maintaining existing customer pricing.

Low-Cost Mold Building & Tooling

i2-tech has over 15 years of experience building plastic injection molds in low cost countries and has a dedicated mold building and tooling facility in Shenzhen, China. Molds are built to US standards with US program management, using only but the highest quality German steel. Molds are built and sampled in China, with the final part approval completed at our Iowa manufacturing facility. Additional capabilities include de-gating fixture design & build, as well as rapid prototyping utilizing our Stratasys 3D printer.

Contract Manufacturing
