TIGHTER TOLERANCES THAN INDUSTRY STANDARD. SOLVED WITH SMARTER TOOLING.
When Douglas Machine needed thermoformed ABS components for a food packaging machine, the design called for tight angle tolerances that standard tooling couldn’t hold. Gemstar’s engineering team developed modular tooling construction that solved the problem, delivering parts with tighter tolerances than industry standard and consistent quality across the production run.
THE COST ADVANTAGE
TOOLING COSTS A FRACTION OF INJECTION MOLDING
For OEM manufacturers producing 500 to 10,000 parts, thermoforming delivers a cost per part and tooling investment that fits the program, without the high upfront investment injection molding requires.
Ideal for OEM programs producing 500-10,000 parts.
