Quadra-Tek™ is dedicated to engineering the success of customers’ products through custom development of tight-tolerance precision molds in thermoset or thermoplastic.

We supply vital parts for electronic, aerospace, computer, military and medical industries, such as:

• A thin-walled membrane capable of holding a dimension within .0022 to .0032 inches to be used in a medical application.

• A damper rotor for a rate gyro to be used in an aviation guidance system being built by Northrop Corporation.

• A base with an accurate post-bake, to be used as part of the assembly of an extremely accurate temperature gauge used in satellites for Texas Instruments.

• A battery holder of polyphenylene sulfide material to replace the metal fabrication being used in an aerospace project by Textron Defense Systems.

• An extremely thin blade in the tool steel of a grommet shield required the parts to be hand-finished—under a microscope—with needle files, for Honeywell.

• Specialty materials which were used for approximately 20 molds when cosmetic appearance was important for a commemorative Apple anniversary model PC.

Services

With our individual program management we work with clients throughout the entire design and production process. This enables us to recognize and avoid potential problems before they affect cost, production or quality. This partnership expands into the arenas of technical distinction, which makes it possible for Quadra-Tek™ to offer individually-tailored, quality assurance plans through performance-based quality control.

Quality Molds

To facilitate the production of quality molds that will last through countless runs, Quadra-Tek provides superior tooling for large and small quantity requirements.

Our in-house tool and die shop enables us to not only produce quality molds, but we specialize in producing standard frame set-ups that can significantly reduce tooling costs. And, if you have an existing mold, we can convert it to fit our standard frames.

Additionally, Quadra-Tek has partnerships with outside toolmakers. This combination of in-house production and outsourcing allows us to provide customers with the best quality, price and delivery.

Prototyping

For companies with the need to prototype new parts or those requiring only small-run work, Quadra-Tek™ is committed to enabling them to meet their goals. We welcome customers in need of quality custom molds for limited runs of thermoset or thermoplastic materials. And, through our individual program management, we consult with each customer throughout the design process to develop the most efficiently built single cavity in order to prototype the necessary part(s).
