FAQS
Rapid prototyping injection molding is a rapid manufacturing process used to produce low volume of plastic parts during the early stages of product development. It helps validate design, functionality, and material performance before full-scale production.
Quantity: Prototypes are typically produced in tens or hundreds, while production runs can reach thousands or millions.
Mold Material: Prototype molds often use aluminum or soft steel, whereas production molds use hardened steel.
Cost & Speed: Prototype molds are faster and cheaper to make but have a shorter lifespan.
The turnaround time is usually 1 to 3 weeks, depending on part complexity and mold design.
Yes, most prototyping molds can accommodate the same thermoplastics used in mass production—such as ABS, PC, PP, and PE—allowing for realistic performance testing.
