Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.
Industry News
Rapid Tooling:
Description: Uses softer, easier-to-machine materials like aluminum for molds instead of hardened steel, reducing tooling time from weeks to days (e.g., 1-5 days).
Benefit: Speeds up the process while maintaining sufficient durability for low to moderate production runs (50-10,000 parts).
Fast Turnaround:
Description: Entire process, from design to finished parts, can take 3-15 days, depending on complexity and volume.
Benefit: Enables rapid iteration and testing, critical for industries like medical, automotive, or consumer electronics.
Production-Grade Materials:
Description: Supports a wide range of thermoplastics (e.g., ABS, PC, PP, Nylon) and some elastomers, mimicking final product properties.
Benefit: Produces functional prototypes or end-use parts for real-world testing and validation.
Cost-Effective for Low Volumes:
Description: Soft tooling reduces mold costs by 50-70% compared to steel molds, making it economical for small batches (50-500 units).
Benefit: Ideal for startups, R&D, or bridge production before committing to high-volume manufacturing.
High Precision and Quality:
Description: Achieves tight tolerances (±0.01-0.05mm) and excellent surface finishes, with options for post-processing like polishing or texturing.
Benefit: Delivers parts suitable for functional testing, market trials, or even limited commercial use.
