  • What is soft tooling injection molding

Soft tooling injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce plastic parts in small to medium quantities, typically for prototyping or low-volume production. It involves creating molds, often referred to as "soft tools," from less durable and less expensive materials compared to traditional "hard tooling" used in high-volume production. Here’s a concise overview:

Companies like Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd. often use soft tooling injection molding as part of their prototyping services. They leverage aluminum molds to produce high-fidelity plastic prototypes quickly and cost-effectively, enabling clients to refine designs before scaling to hard tooling for mass production.
