Shape’s engineers understand the intricate balance between performance, mass and cost. This familiarity allows Shape to sort through your needs quickly and simplifies the complicated process of using multiple suppliers by putting everything under one umbrella. Large tonnage, two-shot molding, in-house CAE and a physical test lab differentiate Shape from many traditional molders, who simply shoot and ship. As the complexity of component design grows, having a skilled technical partner can be the difference you need to gain a competitive advantage.
