What is Rapid Tooling?

Rapid tooling is also known as bridge tooling or prototype tooling because it is a cost-efficient production process for parts that are not ready for mass production but require more quantities than primary prototyping stage.

Rapid tooling utilizes steel or aluminum molds for injection molding of plastic parts. The steel and aluminum molds are perfect for batches as large as 10,000 and take just one or two weeks with existing CAD tools to design. The produced parts are as good as or almost close to mass production parts in quality.

Advantages of Rapid Tooling

Rapid tooling is ideal for products not yet ready for mass production. The quick production allows companies to test a larger batch of product in its near-mass production state without investing time and resources in production tooling. The prototypes and test batches are great at revealing flaws in design of the product. Imperfections like weak spots, warping and shrinking found by rapid tooling can save significant amount of capital for companies.

Rapid tooling is also cheaper than other prototyping processes for larger batches which makes it perfect for young companies looking to get a small batch out in the market.
