MIDFIELD PATTERN CORP.

Fully machined Sinto matchplate

From receipt of customer's CAD model, to shipment of finished matchplate took 7 days. No overtime was necessary

HELP!!

Some customers machine their own pattern plates in-house, but when their CNC goes down, they rely on us to keep production moving until they’re back up and running.

​Need foundry tooling or prototypes quickly?

For the fastest deliveries, a 3D CAD model is essential—but if you don’t have one, we can help!

We can convert your blueprints or sketches into 3D CAD models and send them to you for approval before moving forward with prototype parts, 3D-printed prototype patterns, or foundry tooling.

This proactive approach saves time and money by catching potential issues early. After all, there’s no benefit in producing foundry tooling for a casting—only to find out later that the design doesn’t work due to overlooked factors like draft.

Forward thinking 

By sending 3D CAD models to customers for approval before producing foundry tooling, we help prevent costly rework on brand-new tooling. This proactive approach may add a day or two upfront, but it saves weeks and thousands of dollars in the long run by eliminating the need for tooling modifications, re-poured castings, and re-machining. 

Our cutting-edge CAD/CAM programming stations reduce lead times for tooling and prototypes, ensuring faster turnaround for our customers.

We upgrade our programming hardware every three years because we know that speed is key to keeping manufacturing competitive in the United States. If customers face 10-12 week lead times, they’ll start looking overseas for alternatives.

Additionally, we update our programming software annually, reinforcing our commitment to efficiency and helping our customers get their products to market faster.
