Development & tool design

Shaping tool design

For our well-proven and successful development process, our tool design team utilizes digital simulation, mold flow analysis, and rapid prototyping based on metal 3D printing. With our extensive expertise, we constantly optimize material choice, tool geometry, and durability. Thanks to close collaboration with our customers across iteration loops, we are taking their ideas to series production.

Metal 3D-printing

The combination of additive and subtractive construction technologies is decisive to realize complex geometries or additional functionality in injection molding tools. Thus, OECHSLER’s construction team operates metal 3D-printing for high-quality tools that, e.g., include near-contour cooling or shorten development cycles thanks to Rapid Tooling.
