Pipette mold

Pipette tip mold tools

Mold tools often require very high-quality surface finishes, with surface roughness that is highly repeatable from cavity to cavity. Manufacturing mold tools to these requirements typically involves both machining and many hours of hand polishing. Finding skilled technicians to make these tools has become a challenge.

As the leader in EDM technology, GF Machining Solutions offers a solution to produce these high-quality molds fully automatically. In our latest webinar, we examine this technology through the example of pipette mold tool.
