FAQ
Why use aluminum instead of steel?
Aluminum is more cost efficient, dissipates heat faster than steel, the cycle times are reduced, and adapts more readily and faster to engineering changes. Plus, it’s what DRS does best.
Why should I choose DRS?
Our vision here at DRS is to partner with customers to commercialize better products, faster. DRS Industries helps businesses get products faster and with a lower cost. We are the Aluminum Tooling and Molding Experts.
Can my project be completed from start to finish at DRS? Including secondary operations?
Yes, it can. We will work with you on the project from the start of the mold design, all the way to the completed product. DRS will do the design, build your tool, mold your parts, and ship them to you, all under the same roof!
How many shots can I get per tool?
There are a few items that factor into that answer. The customer requirements (whether it is a prototype or a production tool), part geometry, and the molding material are all types of information DRS needs to answer that question. Aluminum tools can support production requirements ranging from 1 to 1 million+ parts.
