Development Tooling & Sheet Metal Components

If you form metal...here's low cost development tooling for intricate or unsymmetrical parts for prototype or short production runs with rapid turnaround.

Since 1946 United Industries, Inc. has been providing low cost development tooling for applications in hydro forming, metal spinning and metal drawing, especially where intricate or unsymmetrical shapes are involved.

Advantages

United combines precision pattern-making skills with Kirksite casting: Capabilities from 10 pounds to 500 pounds. The result is accurate tooling at low cost.

Fast turnaround is routine. United's experienced staff has the tools at hand to meet close delivery dates. We can often supply Kirksite tooling to customers in less than half the time required for permanent production tools. Multiple castings can be utilized for several operations, trimming, machining, etc.

In development work where changes and modifications are a normal part of the process, United is especially well equipped and staffed. Our people are experienced at working with designers during the inevitable modification cycles of new tooling. This means a smoother move into new tools and faster cycle time to final parts.

Give us the opportunity to quote from your CAD files, prints or sketches. We'd be happy to discuss with you any of your metal forming development tooling needs and to explore how we can be of service to you!
