Injection molding, toolmaking and cost optimization from Karlsruhe
Tsetinis Tooling GmbH from Karlsruhe offers the complete service portfolio covering injection molding, toolmaking, tool cost optimization and training. Tool design and manufacturing, production and 3D measurement of injection molded parts as well as series production take place at the company's own Tooling Center in Karlsruhe. The toolmaking division specialized in rapid tooling many years ago; for medium and large series the company cooperates with the Chinese partner Zealmolding, giving customers cost-effective tools to European standards with a German warranty. In addition to injection molding, the portfolio includes special technologies such as insert/outsert technology (metal-plastic joining technology), gas-assist injection molding (GIT), in-mold decorating (film insert molding) and micro injection molding, with medical products also manufactured in a cleanroom environment. Based on more than 7,000 completed tool cost analyses, the company optimizes projects across a wide range of technologies, including die casting, sand casting, gravity die casting, extrusion, punching and forming technology, forging, sintering and internal high-pressure forming. Key industries include medical technology, automotive, mechanical engineering and the fashion industry.
