In-Mold Graining Tooling Built for Real Production
High-Fidelity Grain Tools for Automotive Interiors
Automotive interiors demand more than good-looking grain. They demand consistency. Speed. And zero surprises once programs hit volume.
Weber’s In-Mold Graining tooling is engineered for that reality.
By forming grain directly in the mold, IMG and IMGL eliminate secondary finishing steps while delivering surfaces that look and feel intentional. The result is higher visual fidelity, tighter repeatability, and fewer downstream variables. Exactly what high-volume automotive programs require.
Why Production Teams Choose Weber for Premium Surfaces
IMG tooling succeeds or fails on execution. Weber designs every detail around production performance, so programs launch cleanly and stay on schedule.
Rapid Production
Our NVD nickel shells deliver first tools in 14-16 weeks, including mastering. Weber’s NVD process offers deposit rates 20x faster than electroforming.
Repeatable Vacuum Layouts
Laser-drilled vacuum holes (0.18 mm) ensure consistent vacuum pull and each cavity processes identically—critical when building multi-cavity shells.
Perfect Grain Transfer
Atom-by-atom deposition captures sharp, edge-to-edge grain detail—even through negative vacuum-forming
Modular & Repairable
Shells mount easily, can be dismounted and remounted on vacuum box assemblies, and are repairable in-house or on-site
