Oftentimes, what you need is simply not out there. In fact, if you think of almost every invention, it has stemmed from the fact that you needed something, it didn't exist, so you invented it. When it comes to manufacturing tools, this is still often the case today.

Flex Technologies offers custom tooling solutions for your needs. Our team can engineer, design, and fabricate to your exact specifications, so you have the manufacturing tool solution to serve your customers better and more efficiently. Below, we'll take a look at the process of how manufacturing tools are custom-designed and built. Get in touch with us to learn more about this process today!

Understanding Your Needs

When a customer comes to us with a particular problem, we immediately begin with one thousand questions. Many of our customers have a good idea of what they need, they just don't know the steps to make that need materialize into reality. Or, some of our customers have no idea how to solve their problem, and they come to us for a comprehensive design service. No matter what stage you are in, we'll work with you to design a customized silicone hose and tubing solution for you.

Creating Design Prototypes

The next step in the design process for your custom tool needs is to design some prototypes for you to consider. This is a very important stage of the custom design process and should undergo careful testing and implementation to see if this solution is right. It's super easy to change a design, but once manufacturing starts, the costs can grow quickly if a lot of material, time, and effort are wasted. Measurements and dimensions need to be accurate during this stage.

Manufacturing of the Custom-Designed Tool And/Or Tubing

Once the design of your custom-designed tool with our custom hoses and tubing has been finalized, it's time for the manufacturing of it. This process involves the cutting and finishing of the tool, as well as the production of the specified number you need. We keep all of our designs on file (as well as sending you a copy), so if you need more in the future, it's a simple process for us to use them again.

Implementation of the Custom-Designed Tool And/Or Tubing

Once the manufacturing of your custom-designed tools has been completed, we'll deliver them to you. You can then implement them for your needs and keep us in the loop on how well it is going and working. This stage can be as long as a few days or months, depending on your application and uses. We prefer feedback from our customers after multiple uses, so we can gauge its success.

Tweaking of the Tool Solution

Flex Technologies offers the ability to tweak your custom-designed tools to your specifications in order to ensure optimal efficiency and functionality. If you have videos of your tool in action, we'd love to see them, as well as feedback from customers and users. We will take a look and offer a tweaking of your tool, so you can rest assured that it will last for your needs well into the future.
