Rapid Tooling in Plastic Injection Moulding and how it differs to Conventional Injection Mould Tooling
Rapid tooling in plastic injection moulding significantly reduces the lead time associated with producing moulds compared to conventional methods. While traditional tooling relies on machined metal moulds that take weeks to produce, rapid tooling utilises advanced techniques like 3D printing to create moulds in a fraction of the time, making it ideal for prototyping and small production runs.
