Please browse our website for our expertise in existing tooling. scia Systems has had numerous projects of creating such custom tooling that have been developed from R/D scale tools into reliable 24/7 high volume manufacturing systems, installed across the largest fabs in the world. In fact, some of our standard tooling today originated from these custom requests from customers.
