Design a part

Expert custom solutions and unmatched support

Whether you need a unique size, shape, material or color, or have specific requirements for your process, our full team of in-house engineers will work one-on-one with you through every step of the process. From initial design to final production, our goal is to create the product protection, masking or custom molding you require.

CUSTOM ENGINEERING

Custom Parts Made Easy

Design & Collaborate

We utilize 3D modeling compatible with all CAD platforms. Our Design for Manufacturability analysis and practices ensure the most cost-effective and efficient solution to your specific application.

Rapid Prototyping

Prototypes are built in house to confirm fit requirements before production approval, ensuring high-quality outcomes. Single cavity prototype tools are used to prove our designs.

Advanced In-House Tool Fabrication

Tools made in house result in shorter lead times, easier modifications and lower costs — with new tools in as little as 4 weeks. We also offer a wide range of cavitation options and an extensive library of existing tools for scalability and efficiency.

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

Three Customization Solutions

Because every part and application have its own set of exact fit, temperature and quality requirements, Caplugs offers customized solutions ranging from fully custom part design to standard part modification and secondary finishing options.

Fully Custom

Bring us your challenge and our team can deliver a fully custom solution unique to your needs.

Modification of Standard Catalog Parts

We can start with a part in our catalog and modify it slightly to fit your exact specifications.

Secondary Finishing

Cut, slice, hole punch or pad printing might be the secondary operation needed to make a standard part work for your specific application.

Design for Manufacturability

Caplugs helps analyze your exact conforming needs and part requirements. This reduces production time and cost while ensuring repeatable quality for future molding and volume needs. Learn more about how design for manufacturability (DFM) can be applied to your products.
