Rapid prototyping & tooling

"Rapid prototyping" refers to the various additive man-ufacturing methods used for rapid production of speci-men components. Rapid tooling is another technology that speeds up product manufacturing. It takes ad-vantage of additive manufacturing techniques to pro-duce tools. This topic shows how you can benefit from rapid manufacturing methods.

Injection Molding Prototypes

During the construction, attention is paid to the high stability and durability of the tool in order to achieve the lowest possible cycle times for injection molding. This means that, depending on the original material, far more than 100,000 components can be manufactured.
