COMPRESSION MOLD DESIGN & MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES

At Reko, we don’t just make molds—we make solutions. Whether you need a basic tooling job or you’re working with cutting-edge RUS and fiber materials, Reko can help you create built-to-last molds for large and intricate parts. We approach each project holistically and incorporate industry-leading craftspeople to help you find the ideal solution for your needs. From rapid prototyping to mold production, our dedicated project managers are there to breed success into your next project.

LARGE SCALE MOLDING

Our low-waste, high-throughput large scale molding service allows us to design, engineer, and manufacture massive part molds for a wide variety of applications. We have extensive experience working with full floor molding for heavy equipment, acoustic dampening, and an unparalleled variety of materials and configurations.

MULTIPLE CAVITY MOLDS

At Reko, we can produce multi-cavity molds that for the simultaneous production of multiple parts within a single mold. This facilitates higher throughput by increasing the overall cycle speed of parts and provides an overall lower cost per part.

FULL COMPLEMENT OF SECONDARY TOOLING

Along with supplying top engineered molds Reko provides a wide array of secondary tooling to complement the complete molding process within your facility. Extensive knowledge in the design and manufacturing of Water Jet Bucks, Gages, D-Plugs, End of Arms and Assembly Assist machines allows Reko to become your turnkey solution provider.

All secondaries are designed and manufactured within the Reko facilities and controlled by a highly skilled group of seasoned professionals. A robust approval process before leaving the Reko facility with give you, the customer, the peace of mind that a quick and seamless start up is expected. During the approval process, mold tooling can be run at temperature, and all movable external clamping systems are run for multiple hours-long test runs if applicable.

WHAT IS COMPRESSION MOLDING?

Compression molding is a manufacturing molding process that uses two mold halves—a core half and a cavity half—to compress a heated polymer, or regular temperature polymer between heated cavity and core halves. Once the material is in the mold, the two halves are closed together and compressed to create a final product.

The type of molding technique and compression method varies by material and use case. Since compression molding can involve many unique compression strategies, it can produce products that vary in size, thickness, weight, material, and overall complexity. Compression molding can also take intricate geometries into account, allowing for incredibly complex designs while still providing good throughput and low waste.

ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

Great projects require a combination of technology and skill. Our highly-trained professional program managers use state-of-the-art programs to help design and engineer molds with speed, precision, and detail. We go above-and-beyond during the design process. Not only do we use industry standard computer-aided design (CAD), but we’ve incorporated a wide variety of cutting-edge programs into our daily workflow such as Unigraphics, Moldflow, Spinfire, Lemoine, Powermill, and Cimatron Data Manager (EDM).
