In the product design process, molds are indispensable. Rapid mold making is a relatively new method in today’s mold manufacturing. Through various means such as computers and numerical control technology, product samples can be manufactured in a relatively short time.

When manufacturing products, there is no need to use traditional tools, which greatly shortens the product development period, greatly increases the speed of product replacement, and helps enterprises reduce investment risk in new products.

Rapid molds are also called prototype molds or flexible molds, but they are essentially injection molds, tools capable of producing high-volume parts quickly and inexpensively. Only in product development projects90%Only when you are sure of success will you choose rapid mold making prototypes.

The primary reason for manufacturing rapid tools is to test and validate components during the prototype development phase of new product development.

although3DPrint,CNCOther prototyping processes, such as molding or replica casting, can often result in faster and less expensive prototyping, but the main benefits of rapid tooling lie in the process and materials.

Rapid tooling can use actual production materials, helping customers better understand whether parts will meet standards when actually produced, allowing you to test and confirm that you have made the right material choices.

We can also use rapid tools to test production parameters, allowing engineers and designers to spot previously unnoticed bugs and implement redesigns or other measures to avoid problems in the final part .

There are many other reasons to choose rapid tooling, besides the prototypes and testing already mentioned, the main ones are the low cost, speed and efficiency of manufacturing injection molded parts.

The speed advantage allows companies to get their parts to market faster, while rapid molds may be suitable for mass production, and the cost advantage makes market testing possible.

When it comes to making a mold quickly, the vast majority depends on the design of the part. Each design has corresponding shortcuts for making quick molds, such as:

1. Uses standard mold bases and manufactures inserts only

2. Use faster processing aluminum or mild steel

3. reduceGEDWait for additional steps

4. Use low cost components
