Iowa Mold & Engineering

Iowa Mold & Engineering is a plastic injection mold manufacturer in Belle Plaine, IA specializing in custom mold design, engineering, and wire EDM services. They needed a way to automate their quoting process, which was done entirely through Excel spreadsheets and manual calculations.

Arzana built an automated quoting engine that takes a customer's STEP/CAD file, extracts part geometry and dimensions, detects mold features like cavities, slides, and lifters, then runs Iowa Mold's own pricing formulas to generate a quote. Tested against real historical quotes, the engine came in at an average accuracy of +1.8% compared to Iowa Mold's manual numbers over the last 3 years.

What previously took hours of manual measurement and spreadsheet work now produces a quote from a CAD file upload in minutes, letting Iowa Mold respond to RFQs faster without sacrificing engineer time or quote pricing accuracy.
