One-Stop-Shop
Catalysis can design and 3D-print tooling as well as manufacture parts, making us your perfect one-stop-shop. When compared to traditional tooling, our mass production level low to medium volume parts are completed in approximately half the time and half the cost, without losing any of the quality. Our experience also means that we can support development and engineering needs in addition to 3D direct printing of parts. This all adds up to the Catalysis Complete Solution!
With a 3D printed die for vacuum forming use, very complex shapes can be easily and quickly printed.
By using our 3D printed die services, you are cutting your time and cost virtually in half!
Low volume production parts are produced with >50% cost and delivery time reduction.
Founded on Experience
While working at Honda of America Manufacturing, Catalysis founders Darrell Stafford and Rick Shibko witnessed how much focus was on the reduction of product development schedules. The result was a negative impact on the reduction of tooling lead times, subsequently resulting in higher prototype tooling costs. With more new products being introduced all the time and the increasing frequency of model changes, the prototype tooling costs and lead times became a challenge to reduce.
Catalysis Additive Tooling was founded by utilizing the collective 60+ years of automotive engineering, tooling, and new model development experience of Stafford and Shibko. That experience combined with their 10+ years of Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing research allows them to offer their customers a complete solution to support their Development and Production needs.
