King Model is full integrated and streamlined to offer the highest quality product on the market today. The company manufactures tire molds along with sidewall machining and letter engraving. Programming of these intricate tire molds requires a sophisticated CAM system with much flexibility and tool control. Once the process of programming and machining of the tread models have been completed and poured into aluminum castings, the segments are machined into completed molds. |

| The company continues to lead the industry in developing better ways to meet its customer's needs. For example, NCL was used to help eliminate errors and condense the time-consuming steps involved in conversion. | ||||||||
| A programmer at King Model states, "NCL was chosen for its unique, 5-axis capability and tool control. NCL allows us to machine precise and intricate detail work that characterizes today's more complex designs." | ||||||||
