Tool Construction

Atlas Tool has a well trained, highly skilled and motivated group of diemakers in its tool construction bays. Tools are built using the "SMIRT Die Shop" solid computer model viewing system, blueprints are no longer required. Atlas Tool was the first company to implement this technology.
