Cardinal Industries has a complete In-house tooling room staffed with mold-making specialists. As specialists, we have been creating cost-effective mold changes and short lead times for over 50 years.

Using the latest engineering software we are able to utilize your cad file and transform it into a complex and exact tooling. We utilize SolidWorks for our CAD (computer-aided design) programming and Surf Cam for our CNC machining software.

With Cardinal, you can rest assured that we will provide a quality build with our lifetime, mold maintenance warranty which is free of charge for the life of your project while molding with us. We work closely with our engineering team and customers to interpret all necessary gauging requirements, including custom-made gauging by our tool room.
