Industrial mold manufacturers design and fabricate precision molds, dies, and tooling used by other manufacturers to cast metals or form materials such as plastics, glass, and rubber. Day-to-day operations typically involve CNC machining, electrical discharge machining (EDM), grinding, polishing, and quality inspection. The molds themselves are often high-value, custom-engineered components delivered to industrial or OEM customers.
