Catalysis Additive Tooling awards 3D Printing License to German Company

The US company Catalysis Additive Tooling has licensed its 3D printing technology for toolmaking to the German company innoMold. Starting in October 2023, innoMold will work with the technology under the name “Catalysis Additive Tooling GmbH.”

The technology, which is used in thermoforming, seat foam manufacturing and other applications, enables customers worldwide to significantly reduce mold costs and manufacturing times. This results in faster product launches and per-unit cost savings.

Darrell Stafford, President/CEO of Catalysis Additive Tooling, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I’m thrilled to announce the licensing of our 3D printed tooling technology in Europe. The remarkable company culture and determination exhibited by innoMold make them an ideal partner for Catalysis as we aim to strengthen our global leadership position in 3D tooling applications.”

Jean-Christophe Figueroa, CEO of Catalysis Additive Tooling GmbH, also expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying, “Adding this state-of-the-art tooling technology to our existing 3D printing solutions portfolio marks a significant milestone for innoMold. The innovative spirit and customer-centric approach of the Catalysis team align seamlessly with our company culture.”

Catalysis was founded in 2016 by Darrell Stafford and Rick Shibko, who have over 60 years of combined automotive manufacturing experience. With over 1,300 molds successfully manufactured and over 110 customers, Catalysis has made a name for itself.

The innoMold company is part of the renowned innoCast Group, which was founded in 2003. With an impressive experience in the industry and automotive sector, they have delivered over 50,000 parts with in-house 3D printed molds to 250 customers in 24 countries over the past two decades.

The partnership between Catalysis and innoMold marks a new milestone in the application of 3D printing technologies in tooling, especially for the European market.
