Uptive MFG

Uptive MFG Disrupting rapid manufacturing by bringing a human touch to digital manufacturing.

"We’re creating a disruptive force in rapid manufacturing by bringing the human touch back to the digital manufacturing industry. From 3D printing services to traditional manufacturing, prototypes to large-scale production runs, we offer step-by-step advice and accurate, custom-part development to help bring your vision to life faster.

- Personalized service with a fast and easy quoting process

- Expert guidance to ensure manufacturability and scalability
- Collaborative, long-term partnerships focused on innovation
- Extensive Knowledge Base to educate and share the information you need

Let’s be real, technology, automation, and robotics have stripped away probably the most important piece in the product development process – personal service. At UPTIVE, technology is a tool that allows our team to recommend a wide range of options that factor in your specific needs for each stage of the part-production process, ensuring each part is designed for long-term manufacturability and production."

When you’re designing for the automotive interior, surface texture matters.

This part was 3D printed with a leather-like grain — straight from CAD to part. No molds, no coating, no post-processing.

It’s a perfect example of how additive manufacturing accelerates interior development cycles by delivering realistic textures and finishes early in the design process.

25% mass reduction. Same functionality.

This handle was originally a solid block. After redesigning with manufacturability and performance in mind, we printed it in PA 12 using HP Multi Jet Fusion.

Still skipping aluminum tooling because you think it can’t handle high-performance resins?

Aluminum molds do work with Ultem, Vectra, and abrasive, glass-filled resins — when designed with the right alloys and surface treatments.

Ever wondered how we achieve precise geometry in hardened steel tooling?
That’s where EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) comes in.

Instead of cutting, EDM uses electrical sparks to erode material — delivering detail, accuracy, and finishes you just can’t get with traditional milling.

⚡ Watch it in action.

So, should you choose 3D printing or CNC machining?

Surface finish is a functional feature in injection molding, not just an aesthetic choice.

At Phoenix | Uptive, we offer a wide range of mold texturing options including:

⚙️ SPI surface finishes
⚙️ VDI texture standards
⚙️ Custom chemical etching for branded aesthetics
⚙️ Polished, matte, and grained surfaces

These textures are built into the tool itself, providing both design fidelity and durability across production volumes.

See some of the textures we’ve engineered in the images below.

Aerospace parts don’t leave room for error—and neither do we.

This aluminum manifold was machined on a 5th axis with tight tolerances of ±.0005", multiple bores, and rotary broaching. Finished with MIL-C 5541 chemical conversion coating and critical cryogenic deburring to ensure performance under pressure.
