We build tooling for the housings, blades, and trim components that make up automotive air vent and AC register assemblies — parts that combine visible surface quality with moving mechanisms and tight assembly tolerances.
Center console and side dash vent housings with textured or Class-A visible surfaces.
Grille frames and bezels with defined shutoff lines and fine rib/louver detail.
Rotating or sliding blade components requiring accurate pivot and gear-tooth tooling.
Slide and lifter design for smooth, repeatable louver and blade rotation.
Cavity surface finishing matched to interior trim grain requirements.
Tooling for clip and snap features that hold assembly tolerance over life.
Cooling and wall-thickness strategy for large, thin-wall vent housings.
Tooling is designed around the resin and finish requirements of each vent component.
Mold design and build support for automotive interior component tooling.
Additional tooling capacity supporting European automotive customers.
Further tooling capacity for automotive interior component programs.
Design for manufacturability review of vent geometry, wall sections, and moving features.
Cavity layout, slide/lifter mechanisms, and cooling design for the vent assembly.
Precision machining and fitting of mold components and moving mechanisms.
Mold trial sampling with dimensional and first article inspection reporting.
Yes. We design multi-slide and lifter tooling to produce accurate pivot points and gear details required for rotating or sliding louver blades.
Yes, cavity surfaces can be finished to match the grain or texture standard specified for the interior trim program.
Most vent tooling is built for PC/ABS, ABS, PP, POM, and TPE, depending on the component and finish requirement.
Our scope on this program is mold design and build. Production molding is typically run by the customer or their contracted molder.
We support mold trials, first article inspection, and optional CPK studies. Full PPAP submission is generally managed by the injection molder or production supplier.
Send us your part drawings or program details and we'll review tooling feasibility.
