Mold & Tool Building
Precision Tooling for Thermoforming Success
At Tru-Form Plastics, we build all molds, fixtures, and trim tools in-house to support accurate, cost-effective production. Our in-house team combines technical expertise with direct communication to ensure the right tooling for thermoforming from early-stage prototyping to high-volume runs.
Why In-House Tooling Matters
Our mold and fixture development capabilities give customers tighter control over cost, quality, and turnaround. We work with aluminum billet to build stable, high-performance thermoforming tools with optimal temperature control and part consistency. Our in-house approach helps reduce downtime and eliminate surprises in production.
Advantages of Tru-Form Tooling:
- Built to meet exacting tolerances and cosmetic standards
- Constructed from billet aluminum for long tool life
- Enables faster adjustments, better quality, and shorter lead times
- Supports part repeatability for high-mix or high-volume programs
- Reduces assembly costs through integrated DFM
From short-term validation to full-scale production, our team provides the foundation for a successful forming program.
Prototype Tooling & Fixtures
Tru-Form offers low-cost thermoformed tooling and temporary molds to support customer validation and pre-production testing. We also manufacture trim fixtures for parts that require precision 5-axis CNC trimming. These early tools are essential for confirming part geometry, fine-tuning designs, and accelerating speed to market.
We help customers move quickly from prototype to production with:
- In-house sampling and feasibility testing
- Tooling concepts aligned with final part specs
- Trim fixture development for detailed finishing
