China Rapid Tooling
Rapid Tooling (RT) typically describes a process which
either uses a Rapid Prototyping (RP) model as a pattern to create a mold quickly
or uses the Rapid Prototyping process directly to fabricate a tool for a limited
volume of prototypes.
Rapid Tooling can act as a bridge to production injection molded parts.
We are particularly proud of our rapid tooling capabilities, and offer
prices well below those typically in charged in the USA.
Advantages of Taiwan product development and manufacture extend to a well-established base of local
tooling expertise, matching services and quality offered by western tooling firms but with advantages of time and cost savings and flexible vendors able to respond quickly to changes and updates.
We can respond quickly to requests for quotation after receipt of your CAD (ProE or IGES format) files via email or FTP transfer.
We normally work with a minimum order size of US$ 4,000, but for established corporations we will accept smaller test orders.
Advantages:
- Tooling time is much shorter than for a conventional tool. Time to first articles
can be less than one-fifth that of conventional tooling.
- Tooling cost is much less than for a conventional tool. Cost can be
below five percent of conventional tooling cost.
Challenges:
- Tool life is less than for conventional tools.
- Tolerances are wider than for conventional tools.
Benefits of Rapid Injection Molding:
- Prototypes in production material in short timeframes.
- Allows for full fit and function testing.
- Discover any design flaws early on. Low cost tooling allows for ease of geometry modification and design refinement.
- Bridge to production process- molds can run thousands of parts.
