All Capabilities,
One Roof in Montana
From raw resin to finished, packaged product — injection molding, secondary operations, tooling, and prototyping. No hand-offs between vendors. No coordination gaps. No excuses on delivery.
Injection Molding
Six injection mold machines running two shifts give us the throughput and flexibility to support low-volume sampling through high-volume production runs. Hyrobotics automation and custom-built fixturing ensure repeatable quality at speed.
- 6 injection mold machines — varied tonnage for small to large parts
- Two-shot (2K) molding for multi-material parts in one cycle
- Overmolding — soft-touch grips, seals, and co-molded assemblies
- Insert molding — metal, threaded, and custom inserts
- Hyrobotics automation for consistent part handling
- Custom automation and fixturing designed and built in-house
- Low-volume sampling through high-volume production
- Two production shifts for maximum output
Secondary Operations
Most molders hand you a bag of parts and send you elsewhere. We finish the job. Assembly, branding, and packaging are all included under our roof — fewer vendors, lower risk, faster delivery to your door.
- Assembly — multi-component sub-assembly and final assembly
- Sewing — fabric-and-plastic composite products and soft goods integration
- Label printing — custom labels applied inline
- Packaging — retail-ready bagging, boxing, and kitting
Tooling & Mold Building
New mold construction, maintenance, repairs, and tool transfers are coordinated through a trusted tooling partner located nearby in Montana. This relationship gives us reliable, responsive toolroom access — keeping your program on schedule without the overhead of a full in-house toolroom.
- New mold construction — typical lead time 6+ months depending on complexity
- Tool transfers — seamless intake of existing molds from other molders
- Mold maintenance — preventive care coordinated through our Montana tooling partner
- Mold repairs — fast turnaround on tool damage and wear, handled locally
- Mold modifications — gate changes, texture additions, insert modifications
- 3D prototyping support — validate design before tooling investment
- DFM review available on request
3D Prototyping
3D prototyping is available on a project-by-project basis. If you need a physical part in hand before committing to tooling, contact us to discuss whether prototyping makes sense for your program — we can point you toward the right approach based on your geometry, timeline, and goals.

Built-In Quality at Every Step
Quality isn't a final inspection — it's embedded in every process. Custom fixtures, inline checks, and calibrated tooling ensure each part meets spec before it ships.
- Weight verification scales — catch short shots and material variation
- Calipers and gauges for dimensional verification
- Color matching — resin and masterbatch verification
- Custom-built inspection fixtures per part number
- Additional QC checks tailored to your specification requirements
- Lean Six Sigma practices driving continuous improvement
Certifications & Compliance
AE Molding actively works with ISO 9001-compliant customers and maintains an active Federal Firearms License (FFL). We are open to pursuing additional certifications required for specific customer programs — discuss your requirements with our team.
Resin Selection & Procurement
We work with a broad range of thermoplastics and can help you select the right material for your application, budget, and environmental requirements.
Common Thermoplastics
PP, PE, ABS, PC, Nylon, POM, TPE, TPU, and blends. We source from reputable suppliers and can match your existing spec or help you select a new material.
Regrind Integration
Where application permits, we incorporate regrind material to reduce waste and material cost — supporting your sustainability goals without sacrificing part performance.
On-Hand Stock & Sourcing
We maintain common resin inventory and can assist with specialty material procurement, color matching, and masterbatch sourcing to keep your program on schedule.
