World-Class Plastic Injection Tooling Capabilities Worldwide
Backed by decades of medical tooling innovation, MGS builds high-volume, high-cavitation tools with tight tolerances. Our expertise helps healthcare innovators reduce risk and accelerate speed-to-market with confidence. Our global tooling experts design, build and manage hundreds of multi-cavity precision injection molds per year, partnering across global teams to help innovators ensure reliable, repeatable success.
We bring extensive design for manufacturability (DFM) and simulation capabilities to every project. With modular pilot Fast-Track Tooling for early product launches, additive manufacturing and laser texturing, we focus on delivering high-performance, high-volume healthcare molds our customers can count on.
Unmatched levels of craftsmanship, tenacity and drive give leading Pharma, Diagnostic and MedTech companies the confidence that we’ll get it done right – the first time.
Our advanced medical device tooling centers support new product launches and tool transfers across MGS’ global manufacturing network. In-house repair shops help ensure long-term tool performance and reliability.
Our experts can handle your toughest applications, we can hold repeatability of tolerances daily at +/- .0005, and when the project and budget can support it, our shop can hold +/- .0001.
Better Mold Technologies for Better Results
From early product development through full-scale production, our medical device tooling solutions are built to streamline the injection molding process and support complex design needs. Whether you’re advancing a new device or improving an existing product, our tools help optimize every step of the design and manufacturing process.
Multi-Component
Features multiple materials within the same production cell to consolidate parts. Can introduce inserts through robotic placement during injection molding processes. Results in reduction of downstream assembly and multiple manufacturing cells.
High-Speed & Cavitation
MGS builds high-cavitation tools up to 96 mold cavities. These molds are designed for fast cycle times, often under three seconds, to support high-volume production with consistent part quality.
Stack Molds
Molds for high-volume production that can produce two-to-four times the volume of single-face molds. Feature multiple parting lines and faces to maximize the use of single machine tonnage.
Auto Unscrewing
Allows for the production of molded-in threads. System actuation offerings are Servo, hydraulic or mechanical.
Upfront Tooling Support to Accelerate Timelines
Early Supplier Involvement & Design for Manufacturability
We offer expert support in early supplier involvement (ESI) and design for manufacturability (DFM) to evaluate part designs while ensuring the best possible outcomes for your process. Our medical product engineering experts combine decades of expertise with best-in-class software to deliver in-depth analysis and reporting. You get the clear, actionable insights needed to move forward with confidence.
Fast-Track Medical Device Tooling Expertise
Together with our customers, we design Fast-Track tooling solutions that are better, faster and cost-effective. Our Fast-Track tooling concept uses standard, modular components that can be customized to fit your program’s needs. This approach allows us to evaluate your design early in the process, before you invest in full-scale production tooling.
Hybrid Tooling
The earliest phases of Design & Development are where the most critical product decision are made – and where the most expensive mistakes can occur. MGS hybrid tooling bridges the gap between prototype and production by delivering real injection molded parts manufactured under production-relevant conditions.
Test and Validation
MGS customers have access to state-of-the-art test and innovation centers around the world to ensure their programs are ready for regulatory approval in both the United States and Europe. We gather the critical information you need to support you from initial review to final file submission.
Hybrid vs. Fast-Track Tooling: Which is Right for You?
| Field of Use | Hybrid Tooling | Fast-Track Tools |
