What is the advantages of rapid tooling?
- Reduce 40~50% cost compared with the traditional mold.
- Reduce 40~60% lead time compared with the traditional mold.
- The mold can be available for various of surface finish, such as: Texturing, Polishing, Sand blasting, etc.
- Soft steel make it easier to modify the tooling if the product design need to be changed.
- The mold can be made as family mold, so it can reduce the production lead time and keep the color consistency of the products.
- Rapid tooling is a good testing solution prior to huge volume production mold.
Custom Rapid Tooling Manufacturer
Producing tools and tool inserts directly from 3D data is no problem with the Rjcmold rapid tooling service.
Rapid tooling is a manufacturing process that uses special techniques and technologies to quickly and efficiently produce high-quality production tools. This can include the use of 3D printing, CNC machining and other advanced techniques to quickly produce moulds, dies and other types of tools.
Controlling Costs and Lead Times
One of the main benefits of rapid tooling is that manufacturers can quickly and easily produce custom tools and parts that can be used for a variety of applications such as testing and low-volume production. This reduces the lead times and costs associated with traditional tooling processes.
In addition to speed and versatility, rapid tooling is also very accurate, producing tools with high precision and repeatability. This makes it ideal for producing complex and intricate parts and ensures that the end products meet the highest quality standards.
What is rapid tooling?
Rapid Tooling is when Rapid Prototyping techniques and conventional tooling practices are used together to produce a mold quickly. This process is also used to prepare parts of a model from CAD data in less time and at a lower cost compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Rapid Tooling is used as a channel to produce injection molded parts.

What engineering and design services can we provide for the rapid tooling?
rapid tooling 3d drawingAs to minimize the molding problems, we need to review the 3D model structure design and confirm the tooling building feasibility. The potential quality problems need to be eliminated as much as possible before cutting steel. We offer a reliable solution for our client to address molding issues:
DFM (Design For Manufacture): This report is a very helpful way to show the mold layout and product information, which include part color, part finish requirement, gate type and location, parting line, ejector pins location and other information. We can provide the DFM report in one or two days based on the complexity of the product structure.
- Product Structure Optimization Proposal: If we find any structure design that is not suitable for the tooling building or if there is potential quality risk in the current product design, we will provide you proposals to optimize the design structure.
- Product Design Assistance: If you have a product idea, we can help you transfer ideas into the 3D model. If you need engineers to change your 3D models, our designer team can help, too.
- Mold Flow Analysis: RJCmold can also make mold flow analysis report if needed.
- Mold Design Detail: We can provide the core and cavity inserts design detail of the tooling design.
