Tools, molds and models
Precise and stable in shape
For the production and machining of workpieces, in addition to the actual machining processes, model fabrication and the use of tools are particularly important, as these form the basis for the subsequent end product. Therefore LES GRAVEURS has made this one of its core competences. Using the latest techniques, we convert your specifications into models and manufacture a wide variety of tools for material processing.
Model making as a development tool
Model making represents a central step in the manufacturing process of workpieces. In order to get a good impression of the future product as quickly as possible at the development stage, rapid prototyping is used at LES GRAVEURS. Rapid prototyping is a special form of normal prototyping, whose approach originates from manufacturing technology. Here, the production of prototypes is completely automated by machines, which are then given to the processing machines.
Milling machines are used for the production of prototypes, so that true-to-the-original 3D models can be produced very precisely and represent an optimal template.
Prototypes allow us to take a closer look at the appearance and nature of the workpiece in an initial model. Its feasibility can be checked and, if necessary, the product can be optimized in cooperation with our customers. This early knowledge possibility results in time and cost savings for you in the entire production process.

Production of tools
At LES GRAVEURS we develop and produce tools for all types of material processing. To achieve a good result, the tools are manufactured and machined by our modern multi-axis CNC machines. The use of CNC machines in the production of tools has several advantages. Working with these machines is characterized by their high precision. Thus, real precision tools can be created. The tools are also easily reproducible as often as required, and just as precisely, so that even larger series production is possible without any problems.
From the leather industry to the plastics industry - the tools can be used for a wide variety of industries.

LES GRAVEURS therefore offers many different variants of tool designs to realize your individual ideas:
- Embossing tools (embossing dies, embossing rollers, marking rollers)
- Thermoforming tools
- Cutting tools
- Special tools
Our staff will provide you with competent advice when it comes to the manufacture of the tools and the model production, and together we will implement your specifications.
FAQ – Toolmaking & Model Building
What is model building in the development stage?
Model building is a key step in the manufacturing process and serves to provide a first impression of the future product. At LES GRAVEURS, we rely on rapid prototyping, an automated method that uses milling to create true-to-original 3D models. These models allow us to review and optimize the appearance and texture of the part already in the development stage.
What are the advantages of rapid prototyping?
Rapid prototyping enables the fast and precise production of prototypes that are provided to the processing machines. This allows us to analyze the part early, detect and fix errors before it goes into mass production. This saves time and costs in the subsequent manufacturing process.
What tools do you manufacture?
We manufacture a variety of tools for different applications, including embossing tools (embossing dies, embossing rollers, signature rollers), deep-drawing tools, cutting tools, custom tools, and injection molding tools. These tools can be used in various industries such as leather or plastics.
How are your tools produced?
Our tools are manufactured using modern multi-axis CNC machines. These machines enable high precision, allowing us to produce genuine precision tools. The tools can be reproduced in high quality and as often as needed, facilitating mass production.
What are the advantages of CNC machines in toolmaking?
CNC machines offer the advantage of producing highly precise tools that are accurate and repeatable. This allows for the efficient production of complex tools that can be used for various materials and industries. Using these machines saves time and reduces errors in the production process.
