FAQs
1. What is a “tooling” or “pattern” cost—and why is it a one-time charge?
Tooling represents the initial investment to create a reusable mold specific to your part.
Once your molds are made, you own them outright and can use them to produce future parts at a much lower per-unit cost. Typical tooling includes:
- Master pattern (CNC-cut or hand-built from drawings)
- Production mold (female or male, depending on desired surface finish)
This upfront cost ensures future production runs are efficient and consistent.
2. What kind of files do you need to quote or build my fiberglass part?
We can work from:
- CAD or STEP files (preferred)
- PDF drawings with accurate dimensions
- Physical samples of existing parts for duplication
The more information you provide—such as dimensions, target thickness, and performance environment—the faster and more accurately we can quote your project.
3. How long does it take to build molds and produce fiberglass parts?
Lead times depend on project complexity and current shop workload.
Typical timelines:
- Pattern + Mold Creation: 8–12 weeks
- Initial Production Parts: 2–4 weeks after molds are complete
If you supply an existing pattern, the process can often be shortened by several weeks.
