We build tooling for the clear optical lens covers used across automotive lighting assemblies. These parts demand optical clarity, precise texture and refraction control, and tight dimensional accuracy for a correct seal against the lamp housing.
Small lens covers for turn signals, side markers, and clearance lamps.
Textured lens covers for interior dome, cargo, and courtesy lighting.
Optical components that direct and shape LED light within the lamp assembly.
High-polish cavity surfaces free of defects that would distort light output.
Precision tooling for diffusion patterns, ribbing, and optical facets.
Tight-tolerance edges and hinge or clip features for a secure housing fit.
Gate placement and cooling strategy that avoid warpage and optical sink marks.
Tooling is designed around the optical clarity and color requirements each lens component needs.
Design for manufacturability review of optical geometry, wall sections, and gate location.
Cavity layout, texture and fresnel tooling, and cooling design for optical clarity.
Precision machining and high-polish finishing of optical cavity surfaces.
Mold trial sampling with dimensional and first article inspection reporting.
Yes. We design high-polish cavity tooling for clear and colored lighting lenses, including precise texture and fresnel detail where the lens design requires it.
Most lens tooling is built for polycarbonate (PC) and acrylic (PMMA), depending on the optical clarity, color, and durability requirements of the specific lens.
Yes, we design tooling for integrated hinges, clips, and bosses that allow the lens to mount directly to the lamp housing without loose hardware.
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.
