Built to withstand higher volumes of parts
Made with P20 steel or NK80 stainless steel
We maintain/repair the tool as needed
Production injection molds are designed for high-volume manufacturing and are built from durable materials such as P20 steel or NK80 stainless steel, typically lasting over 100,000 molding cycles.
You own your production mold, but it is stored at our facility, where we handle production runs based on your part requirements and cover all maintenance and repairs as long as parts are produced on-site. This setup eliminates the need for customer storage or tooling maintenance while ensuring the mold remains production-ready.
Design changes can be made to production molds as needed, with a Fathom engineer coordinating CAD updates and reworking the tool accordingly. Revised samples are provided for approval before production, and keeping the mold on-site allows for faster implementation, reduced downtime, and simpler coordination during part revisions.
Production molds are built using P20 steel or PK80 stainless steel, so they typically last over 100,000 cycles. This durability makes production molds ideal for long-running programs that require consistent output across hundreds of thousands of molding cycles.
Since we house your mold in our facility, there is no shipping charge to send the mold to you or to a production facility of your designation.
We’ll work with you to schedule and ship production runs of your parts whenever you require them.
We will maintain your mold, at our cost, as long as you continue to run parts with us. We will also repair your mold if required. This reduces long-term ownership costs while ensuring the mold remains in optimal condition throughout its production life.
Centralized tooling management simplifies logistics, scheduling, and long-term production planning.
We will ship your tool to you or to a location of your choice on demand. But the process may take several weeks, due to overseas shipping logistics, customs and other considerations.
Partner with Experts Who Get It Right the First Time
Every project is reviewed by a seasoned manufacturing engineer to optimize part design, material selection, and tooling strategy — ensuring smarter decisions before steel is cut and production begins.
Injection Molding Done with Expertise — Not Just Automation
Fast quoting is just the beginning. At Fathom, you get real engineering insight, proactive DFM guidance, and a streamlined path from prototype to full production — all backed by hands-on manufacturing experience.
The customer pays for the mold, and owns it – it is merely kept at our facility for us to make part production runs when required.
Our dedicated team will work with you to meet your production timeline requirements. We’re here when you need us.
Yes. If you have standard part quantity requirements on a regular schedule, we’ll be happy to set up a schedule of regular production runs for you. Production molds are especially well suited for programs with predictable demand and ongoing production requirements.
If anything should happen to your mold while at our facility, we will repair it, at our cost.
The customer owns the mold, so we will gladly ship your mold to you at any point. Naturally, shipping charges will be incurred.
