Rapid tooling involves quickly creating moulds or dies for fast part production, ideal for short runs or urgent projects, while rapid prototyping focuses on quickly producing scale models or prototypes to evaluate design and functionality before investing in production tooling.
Rapid Tooling Vs Rapid Prototyping for Product Development Read More »
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.
The advent of additive manufacturing has given engineers across industry new and exciting ways of designing and manufacturing components and finished parts. In the field of injection moulding, the additive manufacturing process …

Metal additive manufacturing is the archetypal digital manufacturing technology. When additive techniques first became commercially available, proponents claimed that they would fundamentally change the way manufacturing is done. By removing the need for traditional moulds and tools, they argued, 3D printing would replace many older manufacturing techniques. That revolution has yet to happen. Additive manufacturing
