Custom Carbide Tooling Design
Get The Job Done Right
When off-the-shelf just won't cut it, CTIS delivers. Our Custom Carbide Tooling Design service puts precision, durability, and performance at the forefront, helping manufacturers across industries operate with greater efficiency and less downtime. In a world where tighter tolerances and faster production are the new standard, custom carbide tooling gives you the edge you need to stay competitive and get the job done right the first time.
Cost Savings Through Customization
Tailored tooling means faster machining times, reduced scrap, and fewer tool replacements. Investing in custom carbide tools pays off on the shop floor—and on the bottom line. By optimizing every aspect of the tool for your operation, CTIS helps you lower your cost per part and maximize your return on investment.
Better Performance and Longer Tool Life
CTIS designs tools that are engineered for your specific applications and materials. This results in less wear, more reliable performance, and extended tool life, cutting down on costly interruptions. Whether you’re working with high-temp alloys, composites, or hardened steels, we build tools that stand up to the toughest jobs.
Solutions Built for Your Specific Needs
No two operations are alike. That's why we take the time to understand your unique challenges and create carbide tooling that matches your exact specifications. From intricate aerospace components to high-volume automotive parts, custom carbide tooling improves part quality, increases throughput, and reduces rework.
Reduce Downtime and Boost Throughput
Custom tooling can eliminate multiple tool changes, streamline toolpaths, and minimize setup times. The result? Smoother operations, fewer stoppages, and more parts out the door in less time.
How We Design and Manufacture Custom Carbide Tools
1. Discovery and Consultation: We start by listening. Our team meets with you to understand your needs, part drawings, material requirements, and production goals. We take a hands-on approach to make sure we’re aligned from the start.
​
2. Design and Engineering: Using advanced CAD/CAM software and decades of real-world experience, we design precision carbide tools that fit your exact parameters. We focus on maximizing tool performance, balancing chip load, and ensuring perfect geometries.
​
3. Prototype and Approval: We provide detailed prototypes, 3D models, and technical drawings for your review. You’ll have the opportunity to suggest adjustments before production begins, ensuring the final tool is exactly what your operation needs.
4. Manufacturing: Our state-of-the-art facility machines and grinds your custom tooling with uncompromising accuracy, using the highest-grade carbide materials and industry-leading coatings to improve performance and wear resistance.
​
5. Inspection and Quality Assurance: Before delivery, every tool goes through rigorous inspection to verify specifications and ensure quality. We know downtime isn't an option, so we build every tool to perform from the first cut.
​
6. Delivery and Ongoing Support: We don’t just drop it off and disappear. CTIS stands behind every tool we make, offering post-delivery support and consultation to make sure your tooling keeps delivering results.
