Custom Tool & Design utilizes more than 35 years of experience to design and build high-volume plastic injection molds in the consumer products and medical markets. We pride ourselves on innovation, education and quality while taking a proactive approach toward the future of the mold building industry.

With our continuous investment in technology, CTD is able to offer sophisticated 24/7 machining capabilities. Our robots are programmed to change pallets as well as tooling and electrodes. With this technology, our EDM department can achieve maximum unattended run time.

With our large capacity CNC mills and turning centers we consistently machine everything from large, complex mold frames to 3-D contoured cavities. Utilizing multi-stage setups and 30 position tool changers, high cavitation molds are machined in the shortest turnaround times.

Our vision for Erie is Innovation, Automation, and Vertical

Our vision for China is much different than that of our competitors who outsource tools to established Chinese facilities for resale in the US market. Our concept stretches to the global market which includes creating a successful mold manufacturing facility overseas (Custom Tool Shanghai), capable of servicing and building interchangeable, high cavitation tools beginning with the Chinese market.
