Case Study: Allegiance Mold achieves 50% faster mold builds with 3D Systems Cimatron

Allegiance Mold Delivers High-Quality Injection Molds Twice as Fast with Cimatron Software

Allegiance Mold, a Portage, Michigan plastic injection mold maker, specializes in high‑quality prototype and production tooling with very short lead times. Facing stiff overseas competition, the company’s core challenge was staying competitive by delivering superior molds faster without sacrificing quality.

By adopting 3D Systems’ Cimatron integrated CAD/CAM across quoting, design and shop‑floor programming, Allegiance eliminated translation delays and streamlined workflows. The result: average tool builds in 1–7 weeks versus the typical 10–14, electrode pull/burn times cut by 50%, dramatically faster machining, quicker new‑hire onboarding (1–2 weeks) and a full ROI in the first year.
