Caliber OEM makes custom injection-molded plastic components for manufacturers. With 25 years of plastic product development experience, we handle design engineering, tooling, material selection, molding and inventory management. One partner, start to finish.
We join at any stage of development and help get your product to market faster. Every component is developed for ergonomics, fit and function, tolerance stacking and lifecycle performance.
How your design can be produced and how it functions as a product.
Prototypes, design iterations and feature changes.
Single-cavity tooling parts for testing and validation.
Production tooling and First Article completion.
Stock builds and market introduction.
You know your capital and part costs up front. We build for a low-cost production tool and the shortest cycle time that still meets performance and cosmetic requirements.
Engineered thermoplastics cost more than commodity resins, but they allow thinner walls and less mass. A smaller part molds in a shorter cycle, and that lowers part cost.
Prints define reference, standard and critical dimensions. We work with you to identify your part's critical areas and tolerance them accordingly. Our First Article inspection requires:
We also support development with FMEA, FEA, DOE and Gage R&R.
Hundreds of thousands of plastics to choose from. We match one to your performance targets and budget, starting with these properties.
The most stress a part takes before it stretches and necks. It matters most in rigid and brittle materials.
How much energy the part absorbs before it breaks. It drops as the temperature does.
How much load it takes before it bends, and how much more before it breaks.
A measure of material hardness: how well a part resists permanent indentation. It also helps set ductility requirements.
How the floor holds up when fuel, oil and solvents hit it.
Sun breaks down plastic. UV stabilizers slow it, and 5- and 7-year pigment guarantees are available.
We build tools overseas for cost. We run your parts in our own Midwest facility for quality, lead time and IP protection. Every tool goes through a 9-page qualification standard, 2D and 3D mold drawings, and mold flow analysis with cycle times.
We store your parts in clean, climate-controlled facilities and ship on demand anywhere in the world. Blanket POs, Customer Stocking Agreements and Vendor Management Programs are tailored to you. Real-time shipment tracking and email receipt confirmation come standard.
Send us your part. Before you commit, we walk you through design, tooling and cost.
