Four molding processes. One material platform.

We chose polyurethane because it's the most versatile engineering elastomer on the market. Then we built four ways to mold it — so your part gets the process that actually fits.

Flagship Capability

Integral skin urethane molding

The versatile one. A dense, self-formed outer skin and a cushioning foam core, produced in one pour. For ergonomic grips, armrests, medical housings, equipment enclosures, and any part that needs to look finished and feel comfortable.

Flexible Foam

Molded flexible urethane foam

Open-cell molded polyurethane foam, 6–16 lbs./cu.ft., Shore A 30–60 durometer. For cushioning, seating, impact absorption, and positioning pads. Custom firmness tuning.

Reaction Injection Molding

RIM for tighter tolerances

High-pressure impingement mixing and closed-mold injection. The right process when you need Class A surface finish, consistent dimensions, or complex interior geometry.

Structural Inserts

Urethane-over-metal assemblies

Threaded studs, mounting plates, stainless bushings, and machined cores molded in at pour time. Stronger than bonded joints. Ship-ready as one part.

Internal Capability

Pentane-blown foam, 25+ years of it.

We use non-ozone-depleting pentane as a physical blowing agent — not water-blown CO₂ — because it produces finer cells, tighter density control, and more consistent skin formation. Temperature-controlled molds and alternative non-ozone-depleting blowing agents are also available. Title V permitted, explosion-rated facility. 25+ years of operation under Michigan environmental compliance.

Why we use pentane
Tooling

Three mold paths

We build tooling from your CAD, cast from a mold you supply, or reverse-engineer a legacy part. See tooling options

Quality

ISO 9001:2015 certified

ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system. Dimensional and quality inspection on every order.

Volumes

Prototype to production

Prototypes, pilots, and annual production releases — same shop, same team.

Lead Time

6–12 week programs

From approved CAD to first articles.

Which process fits your part?

We'll tell you honestly — even if the answer is "not us."
