. Tempo Thin Wall Molding Technical advances in thin wall molded foams are based on Tempo patents granted in the ‘sixties.  Mold making techniques based on computer aided design “CAD” have improved leadtimes and tolerances in many cases.  There are applications where old world mold making techniques still provide advantages for customers in reverse engineering and lead-time reduction programs.  Tempo offers modern and traditional mold making techniques to match customer requirements.
