Form and trim tool sets
High-quality, competitively priced form and trim tools for thermoformer customers around the world since the 1980s. When you need a reliable source for PS foam and solid-sheet tool sets, look to us.
Designed around your product
Starting with your product sample or drawing, our tooling-engineering team uses SOLIDWORKS three-dimensional solid modeling to guarantee a tool design that matches your product exactly. Once approved, the product drawings drive form and trim tools specific to your geometry. The solid-model geometry imports directly into Delcam, which generates the machine code for our CNC work centers.
Built to run fast and last
Mold cavities and cooling plates are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum plate. Gun drilling gives the mold bases an excess of cooling capacity, allowing the fastest thermoformer cycle speeds.
Irwin trim tools are lightweight and designed for the high cycle speeds of our NT and VTS trim presses. Patented tapered die posts and bushings align 58 to 60 Rc hardened punch and die sets. The precision of the tapered post gives a line-on-line fit between punch and die, equivalent to a match fit at one of our wire-cut EDM work centers.
From a simple foam tray to a sophisticated solid-sheet container, you can expect quality from an Irwin tool set.
