Patterns
We manufacture wood, plastic or aluminum patterns (matrixes). We can also do repair and alteration work on existing matrixes. For more complex matrixes, we work with an outside pattern shop located near our factory that can manufacture patterns in a traditional manner or using digital control and 3D drawing.
