Rapid Tooling

Does your product require 500 or more components but less than 100,000 over a 3 year period but your budget doesn’t stretch to the full cost of injection moulding tooling?

3D Prototyping can now offer a solution that fills the gap between low volume Silicone tooling and full injection moulding tooling with our new Rapid Tooling process. Utilising high grade tool steel in a compact tool design we can now lower your costs while continuing to maintain high quality components. The tooling is suitable for producing up to 100,000 components or used over a 3 year period, which ever comes first.

With a wider range of materials available than our vacuum casting process and equal to full injection moulding processes, all our moulded products can have components painted, chromed, or screen printed just as a full injection moulded component. With shorter lead times than full injection moulds 3D Prototyping can assist you in getting your product to market quicker and more cost effectively than any other process.

In order for us to quote and produce your low volume parts 3D Prototyping would require either an IGES or STEP file. Lead times are approximately 2 weeks +.
