We build tooling for the frames, bezels, and armrest housings that make up automotive center console assemblies. These parts combine visible surface quality, multiple mating components, and tight assembly tolerances.
Frame and trim panels with cup holder openings, switch cutouts, and defined surface finish requirements.
Upper and lower housing shells with storage compartments and lid mechanisms.
Inner components requiring precise fit within the console frame assembly.
Class-A and textured cavity finishing for visible console surfaces.
Tooling for snap-fit, clip, and hinge features across mating components.
Cooling and wall-thickness strategy for large, flat console panels.
Dimensional coordination across frame, lid, and insert tooling.
Tooling is designed around the resin and finish requirements of each console component.
Design for manufacturability review of console geometry, wall sections, and assembly features.
Cavity layout, cooling design, and mechanism planning for hinges, latches, and inserts.
Precision machining and fitting of mold components and moving mechanisms.
Mold trial sampling with dimensional and first article inspection reporting.
Yes. We design tooling for console frames, lids, and inserts that must mate together, coordinating dimensions across the mold set for a consistent assembled fit.
Yes, cavity surfaces can be finished to match the grain, texture, or Class-A finish standard specified for the console program.
Most console 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.
