Westminster Tool is highlighting new developments with industry partnerships, including expanding its mold qualification and injection molding training with new Sumitomo SHI Demag machines and new case studies with metal 3D printing partner Mantle. Westminster Tool says that its suppliers and partners are a critical component to serving its customers.
Adding the latest Sumitomo injection molding machines to its fleet, Westminster Tool plans to expand its mold qualification capabilities to support customers with services such as adjusting processing parameters, developing production-quality prototype parts and troubleshooting molding challenges. These include adding a Sumitomo SE100EV-A and Sumitomo SE130EV-A. With the machines’ new home at Westminster Tool, the company’s technology center will serve as a training center for regional Sumitomo customers as well as a training center for students studying plastics at the local community colleges.
Westminster Tool is also speaking on stage at NPE 2024 about its latest case studies using metal 3D-printed tooling produced with Mantle’s technology. No stranger to using additive in toolmaking, Westminster Tool is presenting its findings at the Additive Workshop and the NPE Mold Building Track on May 8th.
