Custom Carbide Tooling Design
Get The Job Done Right
When off-the-shelf just won't cut it, CTIS delivers. Our Custom Carbide Tooling Design service puts precision, durability, and performance at the forefront, helping manufacturers across industries operate with greater efficiency and less downtime. In a world where tighter tolerances and faster production are the new standard, custom carbide tooling gives you the edge you need to stay competitive and get the job done right the first time.
Custom Pays Off
Custom tooling isn’t just about tighter tolerances — it’s about smarter machining, stronger results, and real savings where it counts. CTIS builds carbide tools that are purpose-built for your operation, your materials, and your production goals — because off-the-shelf doesn’t always cut it.
Lower Costs, Higher ROI
Tailored tooling reduces cycle times, minimizes scrap, and cuts down on tool changes. By optimizing geometry, coatings, and materials for your exact application, we help you lower your cost per part and stretch every dollar on the shop floor.
Longer Tool Life & Better Performance
Every CTIS tool is designed with your workload in mind — from hardened steels and nickel alloys to composites and castings. That means less wear, more predictable performance, and fewer production headaches.
Streamlined Operations
Custom tools often do the work of two or more standard cutters. That means fewer tool changes, tighter toolpaths, and reduced setup time — all of which keep your machines running and your parts moving.
Tailored to Your Work, Not Someone Else’s
No two jobs are the same. We take the time to understand your specs, your challenges, and your goals. Whether you’re running aerospace components, oilfield tools, or high-volume automotive parts, CTIS builds carbide tooling that gets the job done right the first time.
How We Design & Manufacture
1. Discovery and Consultation: We start by listening. Our team meets with you to understand your needs, part drawings, material requirements, and production goals. We take a hands-on approach to make sure we’re aligned from the start.
2. Design and Engineering: Using advanced CAD/CAM software and decades of real-world experience, we design precision carbide tools that fit your exact parameters. We focus on maximizing tool performance, balancing chip load, and ensuring perfect geometries.
3. Prototype and Approval: We provide detailed prototypes, 3D models, and technical drawings for your review. You’ll have the opportunity to suggest adjustments before production begins, ensuring the final tool is exactly what your operation needs.
4. Manufacturing: Our state-of-the-art facility machines and grinds your custom tooling with uncompromising accuracy, using the highest-grade carbide materials and industry-leading coatings to improve performance and wear resistance.
5. Inspection and Quality Assurance: Before delivery, every tool goes through rigorous inspection to verify specifications and ensure quality. We know downtime isn't an option, so we build every tool to perform from the first cut.
6. Delivery and Ongoing Support: We don’t just drop it off and disappear. CTIS stands behind every tool we make, offering post-delivery support and consultation to make sure your tooling keeps delivering results.
