Rapid tooling, sometimes known as prototype tooling or bridge tooling, is a fast and cost-efficient way to carry out low-volume injection molding for a variety of types of plastic parts. Once the aluminum or steel mold has been created with the rapid tooling process, it can be utilized as part of a molding process to create multiple copies of a part. Rapid tooling is therefore used to create moldings for rapid prototyping needs in a shortened timeframe, or to bridge the gap before high-volume production.Aerospace machined parts Aerospace machining is responsible for many aerospace parts, from vital titanium jet engine components to lightweight plastic interior cabin parts.Parts that lend themselves toward aerospace CNC machining are typically low-volume parts that require high strength and fine features. Such parts are generally limited in size by the size of CNC machining centers, but several different materials can be used — usually titanium or aluminum alloys, but with other options like engineering plastics and composites also available. Some parts may be post-machined only, after being cast or extruded.We currently offer the following materials for CNC machining:Benefits of Rapid Tooling Rapid production tooling gives a number of advantages over other mothods of prototype production:The Rapid Tooling Process The rapid tooling process involves the creation of a mold using aluminum or soft steel, a stocked mold base, and hand-load inserts. Rapid tooling is one of the best methods for fulfilling small batch orders meant for use in marketing samples, product evaluations, and process design.Aluminum evenly dissipates heat, which provides dimensional stability in tooling. This significantly reduces deformation and produces less waste during the production process. It is important to note that aluminum is not as strong as steel, so it has a shorter life cycle and is less useful in high-volume processes.Steel is a sturdy, solid, high-quality tooling material, though it is not suitable for all applications. Steel molds have a longer life cycle than aluminum and are therefore ideal for high-volume production. Steel can also be used to produce molds from engineering-grade plastics that are resistant to abrasion and corrosion.
