Engineering first
The component, production route and economical solution are translated into a clear mold concept.
Engineering + master craftsmanship for precast concrete
Steel moldsmanufacturedeconomically
Ready-to-use steel and hybrid molds for precast concrete plants—developed to reduce mold costs, shorten lead times and reliably deliver production-ready quality.
The steel mold at the core
3D printing, timber CNC, kits or data sets serve the better route to the production mold.
Master craftsmanship
Metal fabrication, assembly and detailed work are carried out by experienced craftspeople.
Pragmatically scalable
From a rapid prototype to a robust production mold for recurring components.
Services
Steel molds at the core. Digital manufacturing as a lever.
Our main products are ready-to-use steel and hybrid molds for precast concrete plants. We use 3D printing, CNC timber molds, kits and manufacturing data where they improve design, cost or throughput time.
Steel molds
Ready-to-use, reusable production molds for robust processes, dimensional accuracy and demanding applications.
Hybrid & complete molds
Combined solutions using steel, timber, inserts and special details when a standard mold is not suitable.
Engineering & design
Component logic, mold separation, production route and data are clarified before manufacturing.
3D printing & prototypes
Rapid models, auxiliary parts and test pieces for variants, coordination and trials.
CNC timber molds
Machined timber molds for early variants, one-off components or economical small series.
Kits
Prepared mold elements when assembly or further processing at the plant is the practical route.
Manufacturing data
Data sets for local production, for example on your own CNC router or panel router.
Recesses & cast-in items
Recesses, openings, radii and connection details accurately represented in the mold.
Process
From component to the right manufacturing solution.
- 1
Upload data
A drawing, photo, 3D model or short description of the precast component.
- 2
Select the mold route
We assess whether a steel mold, hybrid mold or prepared manufacturing data is economical.
- 3
Prepare the data
Design, milling data, print data or manufacturing documentation is prepared.
- 4
Manufacture or hand over
Depending on the order, we produce steel molds, hybrid molds, kits, timber molds or manufacturing data.
- 5
Start production
The solution is manufactured locally, assembled or delivered ready for use.
The team behind CMS / Why CMS?
Mechanical engineering, digital manufacturing
and master craftsmanship create a new route in mold making.
CMS is neither a conventional workshop nor a pure design office. The partnership combines industrial 3D-printing and mechanical-engineering experience with digital mold development, metal fabrication, formwork construction, assembly and practical workshop expertise.
Kühling&Kühling
Mechanical engineering, digital design, 3D printing and CNC-ready manufacturing data. The team develops its own 3D-printing technology and translates complex components into scalable, manufacturable solutions.
kuehlingkuehling.deSchmiede & Metallbau Schrader
Traditional blacksmithing, metal fabrication, welding, assembly and a trained eye for quality and efficiency. Experience from high-quality individual projects provides the ability to handle very different sizes, series and special cases reliably.
schmiedeschrader.comWhy this is effective
Many mold projects lose money in the handovers between design, material, production route, assembly and later use. CMS considers this chain as a whole—from the first data set to the mold that works reliably in the precast plant.
Why it remains pragmatic
We support precast plants as a fast, reliable specialist supplier. Scalable design, flexible production routes and experience with special components allow us to start small, respond quickly and, when required, grow into robust series-production solutions.
References / project examples / economics
Up to 40% lower costs than conventional manufacturing.
The leverage comes from better engineering.
The cost advantage does not come from cheaper labor, but from optimized design and manufacturing: less grinding, fewer manual adjustments, less rework and greater reuse of data, mold parts and process knowledge. Even with full steel molds, the manufacturing route itself can often deliver the advantage.
- Highly optimized design instead of unnecessary steel, machining and assembly time.
- Scalable manufacturing: data set, 3D printing, CNC timber mold, kit, hybrid or steel mold.
- Fast response from an established specialist team instead of long coordination chains.
- Experience with special molds, small series and high-quality individual projects.
Challenge CMS
Savings depend on the project and on the component, quantity, internal effort, manufacturing route and required service life.
Send us a component, a drawing or your current manufacturing route. We will show where design, material or process can be made more economical.
Manufacturing directly on the mold
Hands-on workshop work on a large steel body: inspecting, grinding, adjusting and improving it with production in mind.
Steel molds at workshop scale
Large mold bodies, structural steelwork and workshop practice in a robust manufacturing setup.
Mold logic under construction
Internal structure, supports and component geometry are considered so that the mold works repeatably in the precast plant.
Details, connections and adjustment elements
Welded components, bolted connections and adjustable elements as the basis for precise custom molds.
Project enquiry
Upload a drawing or 3D model.
We assess how it can become an economical steel or hybrid mold—and whether 3D printing, CNC timber, a kit or manufacturing data can improve the route.
Instant quotation route in preparation
The aim is a simple process: upload a file, assess the component and receive a reliable initial assessment or quotation more quickly.
