Reducing Downtime, One Repair at a Time: Decatur Mold's All-In-One Approach to Tooling Service and Engineering Changes
The employee in the image is performing laser welding on a mold component using a precision laser welding machine.
In the world of plastic injection molding, the clock never stops—and neither do we.
At Decatur Mold Tool & Engineering, we understand that every minute a mold is down is a minute of lost production. That’s why our engineering change (ECN) and tool repair services are designed to reduce your workload and keep your production moving from the very start of a service project to the moment your tool is back in the press.
Responsive Service, Around the Clock
Tooling issues rarely happen at a convenient time. That's why our team operates on a four-shift schedule, allowing us to pick up, service, and return tools with minimal delay—day or night. Whether it's an emergency repair, an engineering change, or scheduled preventative maintenance, our crew is ready to jump in when you need us most.
We don’t just service our own tools—we’re here to help, no matter where your mold originated.
What Sets Our Tooling Services Apart?
We bring more than just manpower. We bring expertise, technology, and reliability:
In-house laser welding and TIG welding: Our precision welding capabilities help us make accurate repairs without compromising tool integrity or geometry.
Hot runner repair and maintenance: We diagnose and service complex hot runner systems to extend tool life and ensure consistent part quality.
Reverse engineering: Need to repair or duplicate a tool with missing or outdated documentation? Our reverse engineering capabilities give us a clear picture of what’s needed—even without original CAD files.
Preventative maintenance & evaluations: We help you stay ahead of issues by inspecting incoming tools and recommending service intervals that work for your operation.
Delivery Without Delay
We know how urgent your timelines are, which is why we maintain a 24/7 in-house fleet of delivery vehicles. Our team will pick up your tool, transport it securely, and return it in production-ready condition—saving you from logistical headaches and costly downtime.
A Skilled Team Built for Service
Tool repair and ECN work require more than just tools—they require the right team. At Decatur Mold, we’ve assembled a group of technical sales professionals, project managers, toolmakers, polishers, and delivery drivers who understand injection tooling from every angle.
Together, we bring decades of experience to every repair job and engineering change—whether it’s a quick turnaround or a full tool rework.
