Injection Molds
Fathom provides high-quality plastic injection mold design, precision mold making, and close-tolerance injection molding services for a complete custom manufacturing experience. Fathom utilizes state-of-the-art mold making technologies to provide high-quality plastic injection mold design, precision mold making and close tolerance injection molding services for small–to–medium injection molds projects. Fathom works closely with our customers in the medical, packaging, consumer technology, automotive and electrical industries that require optimized productivity and overall lowest manufacturing cost to find the perfect solution.
The focus in today’s prototype world has been to create prototypes which mimic the production component, in the areas of precision, part weight, cycle times, and tooling costs. Our goal is to ensure that we meet and exceed our customers’ expectations with prototypes that are delivered quickly, accurately. Our process begins with meeting and discussing the goals of the customer prototype component and deciding as to the type of prototype tooling that fits their needs.
- We offer low volume tooling – aluminum molds, hand molds,
MUD molds, and unit molds. - Advanced tooling technologies with zero design complexity limits.
Production cycle times are one of the most critical factors when considering piece part costs as it relates to the type of production tooling features. Production tools need to process, cool, and eject parts quickly. There are many factors to consider when trying to achieve optimum cycles and we offer many techniques and have succeeded with over our many years of experience and knowledge of doing prototype components. In addition, our speed and cost efficiencies through machining and EDM cell automation allows our lead times and cost to be significantly lower than competitors.
- Up to 1×32 cavity tools
- Following SPI mold classifications
- Injection Molding machines up to 600 tons
- Highly trained workmanship for preventative maintenance

Every Step of the Way
Fathom will review your quote and alert you of any potential issues that need to be acknowledged and discussed, and/or problem areas that need to be redesigned, like a necessary draft angle for ejection, or a thick wall that may cause a sink mark.
We will advise you of these situations and always make sure you are in agreement with changing your model. There may be cases where the situation is not critical to you and you approve for us to proceed with your model as-is, but at least we will have brought it to your attention. You are always in control!
Case Study //
3D Printed Inserts
for Conformal Cooling
A leader in industrial closures and packaging components was having assembly issues in the field due to a particular part feature warping, which limited its cap functionality. This faulty feature was caused from the long cycles necessary to cool part during the injection molding process. However due to the deep draw, it was difficult to get proper cooling into the cavity.
Fathom tooling engineers took a different approach, designing conformal cooling into a new core insert, and delivered results that saved the customer valuable time and money.
