Carlson Case Study

When a customer’s mold failed, Carlson Tool:

  1. Determined a mold block defect though stress analysis which was highlighted in a report to the customer.
  2. Was awarded the work to repair three of our competitor’s molds, plus design and manufacture a new mold.
  3. Verified that millions of cycles later, the molds are still in production.
