Inter Molds, Inc. (IMI) is a U.S. firm acting as your dedicated engineering extension, managing high-quality tool builds in Portugal for the North American and European markets.
We are not a sales agent for mold shops. We represent YOU. IMI acts as an extension of your development group, ensuring molds are built strictly to your standards and specifications.
With deep experience in Injection, SMC, RIM, DCPD, and DLFT molds, we bridge the cultural and technical gaps between the U.S. and Europe, delivering domestic quality with significant cost advantages.
Total project management from concept drawings to your factory dock.
Preliminary 3D mold designs based on your approval. We direct the design using US components and standards.
Our Portugal division monitors builds daily. You receive weekly written reports with digital photos showing progress.
We sample tools to production ready status. We handle all shipping, duty, and ground transport to your dock.
The Next Level of Molding!
Developed exclusively by IMI, Peak3 is our patented design that optimizes temperature control through high-speed thermal cycling.
Unlike standard tooling, Peak3 is a unique technology developed and owned by Inter Molds, Inc. It represents an evolution in mold construction, combining multiple technological innovations into a single, comprehensive thermal control system that bypasses molded-in stress.
A proprietary process allowing for 3D details and structural components that normally create appearance or processing problems.
Born from 50+ years of expertise to eliminate sinks, warpage, and knit lines directly at the source.
Reduces injection and press clamping pressure requirements by up to 30% without press modifications.
Enables wall thickness reduction leading to 10-15% material savings without sacrificing part stiffness.
