Our pool of toolmakers covers all sectors: from automotive to consumer electronics, industrial goods, household appliances, medical technology and furniture. We offer solutions for a wide range of requirements – from micro injection molding to large molds under 60 tons, including 1K injection molding, injection compression molding techniques and cube molds with advanced slide technology.

Dietz Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co. KG offers complete solutions from a single source for its customers in the injection moulding sector. Many customers appreciate our short response times and extensive expertise in the fields of design, mould making and injection moulding.

We had received a promising inquiry from a customer. However, their manufacturing technology required special toolmaking expertise that our pool of suppliers did not cover. TOOLPLACE not only helped us to clearly specify the requirements, but also very quickly provided us with the appropriate toolmaker contacts. This enabled us to meet the customer’s tight timeframe and bid the project.

Our database includes experienced injection mold makers who are skilled in various techniques such as injection compression molding, insert molding and in-mold decoration. TOOLPLACE also offers a selection of qualified toolmakers for specialized applications such as metal injection moulding, Mucell injection moulding or back injection moulding.

As the price/performance ratio was at a very high level, we will continue to use TOOLPLACE for our project enquiries in the future.

Among our comprehensive plastic molding services, thermoplastic injection molding produces precise molded parts that are suitable for a range of applications.

In addition, our toolmakers cover innovative processes such as reel-to-reel, multi-cavity techniques, insert molds, index plates, cube molds, transfer molds, tandem molds and stack molds. Our experts are even at your side for more specific requirements such as 3-plate tools.

A similar process, over-molding involves molding one material (usually a softer or different type of plastic) over another previously molded part to add new properties and enhance the appearance of the original part.

In insert molding, a pre-formed component (known as the insert) is placed into the mold and molten plastic is injected to surround and bond with the insert. This insert is typically a distinct component, typically either a metal or a different plastic part. Insert molding is often used for adding discrete components within a single part.

At TOOLPLACE, we know that every injection molding project is unique. That’s why we offer you a platform where you can quickly and easily find the right toolmaker – a partner who not only has the technical know-how, but also understands your specific requirements and goals.

The toolmakers assigned to our enquiries respond quickly and offer according to our requirements. After the first round of quotations, we can then go straight into direct discussions with the suppliers who would be the best fit for our potential project. This saves us a time-consuming supplier search in advance.

We were very surprised that with the TOOLPLACE supplier pool we were able to achieve a price advantage for the project scope (injection mould + component production) of over 20%, despite the fact that the supplier came from Germany.

Insert molding and over-molding are additional processes that can be worked into both thermoplastic and thermoset parts.

For one of our projects, we needed a toolmaker with specific skills. Since we had to act quickly, we did not have time to go into the time-consuming search for a suitable supplier ourselves. Therefore, we used TOOLPLACE and were able to identify several suitable toolmakers quickly and easily. A great experience that saved us a lot of effort. After this great experience, we will approach TOOLPLACE more often in the future!

Through TOOLPLACE we sought alternative quotes for a project where we were to supply injection moulded parts to the customer.

In our day-to-day business, we are increasingly confronted with the challenge of needing new partners in the area of mould making at short notice due to changing customer requirements.

What I particularly like about working with the TOOLPLACE enquiry tool is that it is so intuitive and easy to use. The enquiry documents are entered and sent within a few minutes, which saves me time in my daily work.

While thermoset molding is an irreversible process due to the chemical reaction that occurs during the necessary curing process, thermoplastic molding is easily reversible. Thermoplastic parts can be re-melted and molded repeatedly without causing the material to deteriorate. At Leech Industries, we offer our customers the option to use recycled materials if this meets your needs.

For a customer project, we were looking for a suitable supplier for injection molds and prototype production. With the help of the Toolplace inquiry tool, we specified our needs and within a few days we already had several offers. We also liked the fact that we could make direct contact with the toolmakers. This meant that any queries could be clarified quickly.

Polymold is an owner-managed company in the field of plastic injection moulding and toolmaking. Our focus is on efficient solutions for customers in the medical technology sector.

If you’d like to acquire prototypes before going forward with your plastic molding projects, utilize Leech’s prototyping solutions to test parts before putting them through to full production. Contact us to find out more.

In such cases, we are happy to work with TOOLPLACE, as the TOOLPLACE supplier pool saves us a lot of tedious research and visit time.

Thermoplastic components, produced through the thermoplastic injection molding process, possess several key characteristics that contribute to their versatility and widespread use in various industries. Here are some notable characteristics of thermoplastic components:

Looking for an experienced toolmaker? TOOLPLACE is your reliable partner when it comes to highly qualified injection molding. Whether you specialize in 1K injection molding, advanced 2K or 3K injection molding, or need innovative solutions in 4K and 5K injection molding, our platform connects you with suppliers who understand and meet your needs.

For a development project, we needed a new supplier at short notice for an injection mold and initial prototype parts. Within a few days, TOOLPLACE provided us with a contact whose competencies exactly matched the small special component we wanted to implement. The collaboration was very focused and efficient. We will gladly use the services of TOOLPLACE again.
