Not Sure You Need a 3-Plate Mold?

A 3-plate mold gives you more freedom in where you gate the part, but it can also add cost, complexity, and cycle time. Send us your part and we’ll tell you whether a 3-plate design, a hot runner, or a simpler 2-plate tool is the best fit, before you commit to tooling.
