    Custom Tooling & Process Solutions
    Overview

    Tooling Built Around Your Manufacturing Process

    Not every manufacturing challenge has an off-the-shelf solution. LaserMed Technologies develops custom tooling and process solutions around the specific needs of your part, material, and manufacturing process.

    From nitinol shape-setting fixtures and extrusion tooling to 3D-printed tooling and custom process solutions, our team works directly with customers to solve manufacturing challenges and develop tooling that makes difficult processes more practical, repeatable, and scalable.

    Whether the tooling supports a process inside our facility or becomes part of a customer's manufacturing operation, we approach it the same way: start with the problem, understand the process, and build the solution around it.

    More Than a Fixture. A Manufacturing Solution.

    Custom tooling is about solving the specific challenges of your manufacturing process. LaserMed develops purpose-built solutions ranging from nitinol shape-setting and extrusion tooling to 3D-printed tooling, production fixtures, workholding, and assembly aids—all designed around your part, material, and process requirements. The result is tooling built for the application, not an off-the-shelf solution adapted to fit it.

    Nitinol Shape-Setting Tooling

    Nitinol requires specialized tooling to achieve and maintain precise geometries during shape-setting processes. LaserMed develops custom shape-setting tooling and fixtures around the geometry of the component and requirements of the manufacturing process, providing purpose-built solutions for complex nitinol applications. Our experience working with nitinol and precision medical components allows us to consider the tooling as part of the overall manufacturing process rather than as an isolated step.

    Custom Extrusion Tooling

    Specialized extrusion applications often require tooling designed around complex profiles, internal features, and specific process requirements. LaserMed develops custom extrusion tooling to help customers overcome these manufacturing challenges, with solutions ranging from traditionally manufactured tooling to advanced metal additive manufacturing. By developing the tooling around the desired extrusion geometry and process, we can help create a more direct path from concept and development to a functional manufacturing solution.

    3D-Printed Extrusion Tooling

    Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) expands what's possible in extrusion tooling by enabling complex internal geometries that can be difficult or impractical to manufacture using conventional methods. LaserMed can use metal additive manufacturing to produce intricate extrusion tooling, including multi-lumen geometries, while allowing designs to be modified and iterated without the same constraints as traditional tooling methods. For the right application, this can significantly reduce development time while opening new possibilities for complex extrusion profiles.

    From First Design to Production-Ready Tooling

    The development sequence matters. Lasermed Tech moves from design concept through prototype validation to production tooling without handing the project off between phases. We use 3D printing to validate locating geometry and probe access before finalizing fabrication specs. Where the application calls for it, prototype composite and silicon molding gives us soft tooling options that reduce lead time on early-stage builds. This integrated path from concept to production-ready fixture is how we accelerate your time to market without trading away dimensional accuracy. Read more in our facility overview to understand how these capabilities operate together.
