This method by us is designed to deliver ultra-precise parts with smooth surface finishes. Using liquid resin cured by UV light, SLA creates details and complex geometries perfect for high-resolution prototypes and detailed tooling applications.
SLS builds strong, complex parts without supports by laser-fusing powder materials. This works perfectly for functional prototypes and end-use parts; it offers design freedom, durability, and heat resistance. This technique is ideal for rapid tooling solutions.
This technique is fast, accurate printing for detailed components. DLP cures entire layers at the same time. It uses digital light projection, delivering quick turnaround times for parts with brilliant surface quality and fine features.
This service is designed to produce multiple copies from master patterns. VC creates high-quality polyurethane parts in silicone molds, perfect for low-volume production runs, functional testing, and bridge manufacturing before full-scale production.
Speed up innovation with our multi-material, multi-technology rapid prototyping solutions. From concept models to functional prototypes, our complete 3D printing services cut development costs and accelerate design iterations, bringing your ideas to market faster.
You can expect precision manufacturing for metals and plastics with this technique. Our advanced CNC capabilities deliver tight tolerances and superior surface finishes, creating production-ready tools and components that meet exact specifications and quality standards.
The process involves two primary methods: direct and indirect tooling. Direct tooling builds molds from digital designs, while indirect tooling creates a master pattern to form the mold.
We review your specifications, evaluate design complexity, and recommend the best and effective manufacturing methods to ensure cost-effective rapid tooling solutions.
At this second stage, our experts choose appropriate materials based on your application requirements, balancing performance, durability, and budget for maximum value.
At the third stage of the process, we select the best rapid tooling technology - FDM, SLA, SLS, DLP, or CNC machining that perfectly matches your project needs.
The fourth stage has advanced CAD modeling and simulation that validate your design before manufacturing, preventing costly revisions and ensuring optimal tool performance.
The next step of the process is where the tool is produced using our advanced equipment and skilled craftsmanship, maintaining strict quality control throughout the entire process.
Lastly then we conduct a comprehensive inspection and testing to verify dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and functionality before delivery to guarantee your complete satisfaction.
We deliver rapid tools in under 2 weeks, eliminating production delays and keeping your manufacturing schedules on track with our quick, efficient tooling design & engineering services.
From FDM to CNC machining, we offer complete tooling solutions at one place and by one single expert team, saving you time and the costs of coordinating multiple vendors.
With 10,000+ hours serving demanding engineering sectors, we understand complex requirements and deliver tools that fight strict industrial applications and environments.
Our low-cost rapid tooling development reduces your investment by up to 60% compared to traditional methods while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
Our tooling design services make sure to use tight tolerances (ISO 2768) and optimized geometries using CAD/CAM & FEA, reducing defects and improving part consistency for superior manufacturing performance.
Utilizing rapid prototyping (ASTM F42) and CNC machining, we accelerate mold development, cutting down the lead times by 70% getting your product to market quicker.
Advanced DFM (Design for Manufacturing) principles minimize material waste and machining time, cutting tooling costs by 20-40% without compromising durability or performance.
We use hardened tool steels (H13, P20,) and conformal cooling (SAE AMS 4999) to extend mold life, sustaining 300,000+ cycles with minimal wear.
From prototyping (ISO 9001) to mass production, our tooling adapts smoothly, supporting low-to-high volume needs while maintaining dimensional accuracy (ASME Y14.5).
Our quality assurance system combines real-time monitoring sensors, predictive maintenance algorithms, and automated inspection protocols to detect potential issues before they impact production.
Rapid tooling is a method of quickly creating molds, dies, or other manufacturing tools, primarily for prototyping or low-volume production. It leverages additive manufacturing (3D printing) and high-speed machining to produce tooling much faster and often more affordably than conventional methods.
Rapid tooling differs from traditional tooling primarily in its speed, cost, and typical volume suitability. Traditional tooling involves lengthy, expensive processes like EDM of hard metals for high-volume, durable molds. Rapid tooling utilizes faster, often additive methods and less durable materials, ideal for quick iterations, prototypes, or low to medium production runs.
Rapid tooling can use a variety of materials, including polymers (plastics), composites, and even some metals. Common materials include photopolymers, ABS, nylon, and various resins for 3D printed molds, as well as softer aluminum alloys or high-density epoxies for machined tools.
Rapid tooling employs various mold types, including injection molds, vacuum forming molds, blow molds, and soft tooling inserts. These molds can be 3D printed directly (e.g., plastic molds for silicone casting or short-run injection molding) or produced by rapidly machining softer metals or tooling boards.
Yes, rapid tooling is highly suitable for low-volume production. Its speed and lower cost per tool make it an excellent choice for producing hundreds or thousands of parts before committing to expensive, high-volume traditional tooling, or for bridge production between prototyping and mass manufacturing.
