Post Mold Machining and Trimming

Add features, clean up edges, and finish your molded parts to spec. Our post mold machining and trimming services handle the secondary work that gets parts ready for assembly or shipment.

The Right Trim

Not every feature can be molded in. Tight holes, threads, side openings, and complex geometries are often easier and cheaper to add after the part comes out of the press. Post mold machining and trimming let you keep tooling simpler while still getting the finished part you need.

We handle degating, deflashing, drilling, tapping, milling, and trimming as in-house secondary operations. That means parts move from the press straight to our machine shop, with no shipping or handoffs in between. The same quality standards that apply to molding apply to every cut, hole, and finish.

Our team plans these steps during design review, so the mold is built around the secondary work from the start. That keeps tooling costs lower, cycle times shorter, and finished parts closer to your spec.

Our Process

We confirm which features will be molded and which will be machined or trimmed after. Fixtures, jigs, and cutting tools are prepped to hold each part in the right position.

The runner, sprue, and any flash along the parting line are removed by hand or with automated cutters. Clean removal protects the part surface and keeps the gate area looking right.

Holes, threads, slots, and side features are added on our CNC and manual machines. Tight tolerances are held by the same machining team that runs our precision work every day.

Edges are trimmed, surfaces smoothed, and any cosmetic touch-ups applied. Tumbling, deburring, and light finishing can be added when your part calls for them.

Each part is checked against your drawing before it moves on to assembly, printing, packaging, or shipment.
