Test and validate your projects before investing in a HoliPress

Looking to check if a specific material works with a HoliPress? Need to validate a part’s feasibility? Or want to quickly test a new design without investing in expensive metal tooling? HoliMaker gives you full confidence before making a move. If you’re unsure which setup fits your needs, we can run the right studies to point you toward the ideal HoliPress model.

Our injection molding presses operate at temperatures up to 500 °C and support a broad range of standard and high-performance thermoplastics (including PP, ABS, PLA, PPS, PEEK, and custom compounds). Depending on your project, you can visit our facilities in Metz (France) to review your specs, test project feasibility, and get hands-on training with the HoliPress.

Feasibility Study

From concept to part — evaluate your design’s viability

Want to make sure your part can be molded on a HoliPress before purchasing a machine?

Our feasibility study validates your design and delivers real molded parts using your chosen material.

What’s included:

– Custom test mold design based on your CAD file

– 3D-printed resin mold (Formlabs technology)

– Molding trials using your preferred material (from HoliMaker stock or client-supplied)

– Delivery of your finished sample parts

This service is built for teams looking to validate part feasibility before adding a HoliPress to their shop floor.

Material Testing

Validate material performance before buying your machine

Developing a new material or testing how your compound behaves on a HoliPress?

We run comprehensive trials to assess injectability and determine optimal processing parameters.

What’s included:

– Step-wedge test specimen molding

– Tensile bar molding for mechanical testing

– Processing with precision aluminum test molds

– Delivery of all test specimens

– Detailed technical report and recommendations on material behavior

The ideal way to evaluate a material before investing in a HoliPress.

3D-Printed Resin Molds

Prototype your parts with 3D-printed resin tooling

Need to validate part geometry or test multiple materials without spending on traditional metal molds?

Send us your STEP file, and we will design and 3D print high-precision resin molds engineered specifically for the HoliPress.

Your mold is delivered ready to run, so you can execute your own internal trials and iterate rapidly.

This solution is perfect for rapid prototyping, complex geometry validation, and in-house material testing — giving you total autonomy before committing to full production.

Tailored Support for Your Project

No two projects are the same. Our services are designed for engineering teams, R&D labs, manufacturers, and innovators seeking to validate a design, material, or molding process. You can also run your own test runs directly at our headquarters in Metz, France, with full support from our technical team.

Lead times and pricing depend on project scope and complexity, and are fully outlined upfront.
