Cast Rotational Molding Tooling
Pouring aluminum into a sand cavity creates the tooling. Then the mold is polished and/or textured to your specification. This process takes a meticulous eye for detail. The mold cavities are then fit together. A steel frame is constructed and mounted to the casting.
After the framing and fitting of the mold cavities are completed, the new tool is sent to our Rotational Molding Department to program cycle times with Rotolog technology. Learn more about Cast Rotational Mold Tooling.
Benefits of Cast Tooling
Cast Aluminum uniform walls of 5/16"
Mounting flanges 1/2" thick
3/16" thick square tube with mitered corners
All these items lead to a quality tool.
Tooling Options

- Date code wheels - track production runs
- Air Horns - Force air into cores for uniform wall thickness
- Drop Boxes - Add a second layer of material
- Example: Foam inner wall for strength, buoyancy or thermal
- Post Pattern Textures
-
- Polished
- 330, 550, 770 Shot Peen
- Sand Blast
- Glass Bead
- Acid Etching
- Teflon Coating (6 levels available)
- Machined pull out cores and pins

Cast Tooling Process
Pattern making
Patterns mirror your design for approval in advance of casting
the tool. A pattern is produced out of milled high-density wood; composite boards, epoxy resin, or other materials. Sand blasting the pattern can add texture to the pattern.
Sand Cast
The pattern is used to make sand casting for your tool. Every step in the casting process is closely monitored for the highest level of quality.
Casting
A reliable mold begins with consistant wall thickness and porosity free casting.
Finishing
Meticulous eye for detail comes into play when applying the polishing or blasting texture needed to create the precise surfaces. During the finishing stages of your project, parting lines are inspected and made so mismatch and flashing are eliminated, cutting down on your post rotomold processes.
Framing
How a mold frame is designed affects how fast a part can be de-molded. Our skilled engineers and machinists think in terms of Lean for optimum efficiency
