For 33 years, North America’s top thermoformers have trusted American Tool & Engineering (ATE) to deliver zero-compromise, high-performance machined aluminum tooling for the world’s most demanding industries.

We engineer and manufacture massive molds with a CNC milling capacity up to 86" × 160" × 38", featuring precise internal thermal loops created via deep gun drilling up to 96 inches.
Our advanced in-house capabilities allow us to seamlessly master complex geometries, including twin-sheet tooling, undercuts, and mechanical lifters, with all dimensions fully backed by Faro Arm precision verification upon request.
Designed to provide premium, flawless surface finishes at a fraction of the cost of other manufacturing methods, our heavy-duty molds are tailored specifically for mission-critical sectors.
This includes meeting rigid healthcare regulations for sterile medical packaging, adhering to ultra-tight geometric tolerances for interior aerospace components, and withstanding the relentless production cycles of rugged automotive applications.

More than just a supplier, we stand right beside you on the production floor to refine and perfect your tooling until your final production parts are completely flawless.

We put Earth Planters around American Tool & Engineering and wow — we’re impressed. The self-watering design means we fill them and forget them. Instructions were painless. And they’re tough enough for Iowa weather while still making our building look sharp.
Chance even captured a humming bird enjoying the lavender.
Best landscaping upgrade we’ve made. Check out Earth Planters for yourself!
