Rapid tooling is a fast and cost-effective way of making molds, usually used for prototyping or small-batch production.
By using standard mold base systems and P20 tool steel or aluminum, the mold manufacturing cycle and cost can be significantly reduced.
Short Lead Time | Lower Risk | Cost Saving | Faster Time to Market | Production Quality |
Molds ready in as little as 10 days | Minimize upfront investment | Tooling cost reduced by 30%+ | Bridge to mass production | Same quality as full-scale production |
Product structures must be relatively simple
Production volumes typically within 30,000 shots
The products' raw material selection may be limited compared to full production molds
DFM Analysis — within 2 working days after order confirmation
Design + Steel Cutting — proceed simultaneously after DfM approval
CNC Machining — cavity and core inserts, MUD checked, move to assembly
Auxiliary Components — machined and sent to assembly
Fitting & Polishing — tooling adjusted and finished
Trial T0 — tooling tested in molding workshop
T0 Samples Delivery — T0 samples + dimensional report to customer
