Arrowhead was proud to partner with a leading entertainment equipment manufacturer on the development of a custom fiberglass video game enclosure for a high-end video poker table. From the very beginning, Arrowhead’s engineering team worked closely with the client to refine and finalize the exterior design of the enclosure—ensuring that both aesthetic appeal and functional requirements were achieved.

Once the design was finalized and approved, our in-house tooling department took over to produce a precision prototype of the fiberglass video poker enclosure. The prototype was molded to the exact specifications discussed during development and reviewed carefully by the customer. After approval, the project transitioned seamlessly into production to meet the client’s fast-approaching launch deadline.

The final fiberglass video game enclosure was molded to offer exceptional durability, smooth contours, and a professional finish that matched the premium quality of the table’s electronic components. Because the customer had an accelerated production schedule, Arrowhead prioritized the project and aligned internal resources to ensure timelines were met without compromising quality.

This project exemplifies the kind of collaboration that Arrowhead values—open communication, responsive design support, and on-time delivery. Thanks to strong teamwork between the client and our staff across engineering, tooling, and production departments, we were able to successfully deliver a high-quality, production-ready fiberglass video game enclosure on schedule and to spec.

Whether you need a fiberglass housing for arcade machines, kiosks, or specialty gaming tables, Arrowhead offers full support from concept to completion.

The open molded fiberglass hood is a popular solution for large, contoured components in the transportation industry—especially in applications like buses, trucks, and specialty vehicles. One of the key reasons fiberglass is the preferred material is the significantly lower tooling cost compared to other molding processes. This is especially important for large parts that feature compound curves, complex surfaces, or molded-in details. Open molding allows manufacturers to produce durable, cost-effective hoods without investing in expensive, multi-cavity tooling systems.

An additional benefit of using an open molded fiberglass hood is the material flexibility it offers. The type and quality of fiberglass reinforcement—such as chopped strand mat, woven roving, or multi-axial fabrics—can be selected based on the strength, weight, and cost requirements of the project. This customization enables design engineers to fine-tune performance characteristics, ensuring long-term durability with minimal added weight. This is particularly advantageous in industries where reducing vehicle weight can lead to increased fuel efficiency and improved overall performance.

The open molding process also provides flexibility in integrating functional features into the hood. Structural brackets, reinforcing ribs, hinge mounts, and other hardware can be mechanically fastened, laminated in place, or bonded to the backside of the part during or after the molding process. These additions enhance both the strength and usability of the hood, allowing for seamless assembly with surrounding vehicle components.

Arrowhead specializes in producing high-quality open molded fiberglass hoods and similar components, offering engineering support, in-house tooling, and precision manufacturing to meet your unique project requirements. Whether you need a single custom prototype or a low-to-medium production run, open molded fiberglass offers the versatility, cost savings, and performance you’re looking for.
