Crescent’s Injection Mold Design & Engineering Support
At Crescent, we provide high-quality upfront engineering support, starting with efficient injection mold designs. With our expertise and cutting-edge technology, we strive to deliver tailored solutions to meet your project requirements. Whether you want to create a new product or improve an existing one, our team is here to assist you at every step.
Our designers have a deep understanding of injection molding and mold building processes and best practices. We optimize the mold design for easy fabrication, efficient production, and cost-effectiveness by considering factors that align with injection molding best practices.
3D Modeling
Creating 3d models of the injection mold design allows the team to visualize the mold’s geometry, identify potential manufacturing issues, and make necessary adjustments before the steel is cut to build the tool.
Tooling Design
Our team has extensive experience designing various injection molds, including single-cavity molds, multi-cavity molds, family molds, tool sets, and hot runner molds. To develop an efficient and robust tooling design, we consider factors such as part geometry, draft angles, gate locations, and cooling systems. We aim to maximize productivity and ensure consistent part quality throughout the production process.
Mold Flow Analysis
We conduct mold flow analysis using specialized software to ensure optimal mold performance. This analysis allows us to simulate the flow of molten plastic inside the mold, identify potential defects or issues, and optimize the design accordingly, all before the steel is cut, saving you time and money.

The problem was the client's legacy data - the engineers that developed the original product were no longer with the company, and the CAD solid models for the device were no longer in a state that could easily be modified.
The Solution
DFM And 3D Printing Allowed Crescent To Speed This Prototyping Process Up And Respond Very Quickly To The Customer's Input And Direction, Rather Than Relying On Only 2D Drawings And 3D Solid Models.
DELIVERING A CUSTOM AUTOMATED INJECTION MOLDING SOLUTION
The Challange
Our customer wanted to achieve two goals reduce labor and guarantee quality parts for 19 different diagnostic plates with varying internal geometries.
The Solution
We Started By Designing And Building End-Of-Arm-Tools (EOAT) For Each Of The Four Molds. We Use A Quick Change Feature For Each EOAT, Allowing Easy And Accurate Switching Back And Forth During Mold Changes.
