Rapid Tooling

In today’s competitive marketplace, speed -- like winning -- isn’t everything, it’s the only thing. Rapid tooling can compress your time to market even further and reduce your tooling costs at the same time.

In addition, rapid tooling techniques (such as composite tooling) give us the ability to create parts with actual end-use production materials and run quantities up to production volumes, meaning more parts per mold.

In fact, these rapid tooling techniques bridge the gap between Room Temperature Vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber molds, and machined aluminum tooling. Not only can you create longer runs of functional prototypes or pre-production samples in a wider range of materials; you can also conduct manufacturing analysis or field trials with fully functional parts. This enables you to finalize selection of production materials and verify the tool prior to final mold making.

For the foundry industry, rapid tooling offers a fast, cost-effective alternative for producing multiple investment casting wax masters.
