Product Development & Precision Tooling for Pest Control Bait Stations

VM Products, a company that develops and markets a line of pest control products, contracted LX3 Corporation to provide the final product designs for a series of bait stations. We also designed and manufactured the injection mold tooling for this product line, meeting ultra-tight tolerances as close as ± 0.0003".

LX3's involvement with this project included:
  1. Final product design of RBS1, MBS1, and FBS1 based on customer concept
  2. Design of 5 separate injection mold tools used to produce these products
  3. Completion of all customer requested part and tool revisions
Our customer’s product line continues to be a big success and VM Products has established themselves as a leader in the pest control industry.
