Tool and Die Manufacturing Services

Tool and die manufacturing typically includes tool design, CAD/CAM programming, DFM review, machining of dies and moulds, jigs and fixtures, in-house trials, validation, maintenance, and engineering changes. At Marcus, these services support die casting, forging, and plastic injection moulding programmes, helping customers move from concept to production with better control over quality, repeatability, and lead times.

Marcus supports customers in automotive, EV, aerospace, electronics, healthcare, energy, and industrial manufacturing. These sectors rely on precision tooling for repeatable production, dimensional consistency, and validated process performance. Our tooling and development capabilities are especially valuable for programmes that require tight tolerances, structured quality documentation, and coordination across machining, casting, moulding, and assembly.

Yes. Marcus offers in-house tool room capability covering tool design support, CAD/CAM integration, DFM review, simulation, fabrication, T0 and T1 trials, and ongoing maintenance. This gives customers tighter control over revisions, faster issue resolution, and better alignment between tooling development and downstream production requirements. It also reduces dependence on multiple vendors during critical launch stages.

Yes. Marcus supports both early-stage development and full production tooling programmes. Prototype support can include rapid prototyping, CNC machining, simulation-led refinement, and trial runs, while production tooling is developed for repeatability, durability, and validated output. This staged approach helps customers test designs, reduce risk, and transition more smoothly into scaled manufacturing.

Marcus operates under IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001 certified processes. Depending on the programme, quality planning and validation may include DFM, APQP, PPAP, FAIR, inline inspection, CMM-based measurement, and trial verification. These systems help ensure tooling is developed with documented controls, traceable checks, and a clear path to stable production performance.

Yes. Tool maintenance is a core part of Marcus's offering. Services include preventive maintenance, repair, refurbishment, and engineering change management for dies, moulds, jigs, and fixtures. Regular maintenance helps extend tool life, reduce unplanned downtime, preserve dimensional accuracy, and maintain consistent part quality across long production runs or repeat manufacturing schedules.

Yes. One of Marcus's key advantages is end-to-end manufacturing support. Customers can combine tooling with CNC machining, die casting, surface finishing, and mechanical or electro-mechanical assembly through a single partner. This simplifies coordination, reduces handoff delays, and improves accountability across the full manufacturing workflow from development through finished product delivery.

Marcus validates tooling through structured reviews and in-house trial stages, including T0 and T1 runs. These trials assess tool function, part quality, dimensional performance, and process stability before production release. Feedback from trials is used to refine the tool where needed, helping customers reduce launch risk and improve readiness for repeatable, volume manufacturing.
