After-molding Services

Secondary operations are additional manufacturing steps performed after the part is molded. They apply certain features or details to the part that are not achieved during the molding process. Secondary operations are at times planned for at the beginning of a project to save on tooling costs. This is particularly important for parts with low annual usage. A secondary operation could also be used to machine very precise features to closer tolerances than possible in the molding process.
