Rapid Prototype/Short Run Molds

  • Quotes in 4 hours, typical
  • 100 to 100,00 parts
  • Steel and/or Aluminum
  • $2500-$9000, typical
  • 1 to 4 cavities, or more
  • 2 to 5 weeks for parts

Rapid injection molds made entirely of aluminum with the exception of steel added in key places of wear or high stress. These molds typically make runs of 100 to 100,000 parts, from any engineering material, with full part strength and with controlled mold temperatures. Lead times for molded parts (mold building plus injection molding) can be as little as 15 days, or more typically 3-5 weeks, depending on the complexity of the mold. Sometimes, if side action coring is needed, and especially if volumes are low, a hand loaded core system is used. Mold costs for 1 to 4 cavities is typically in the $2000-$9,000 range. For a slightly higher cost, these molds can be constructed using P-20 steel as the cavity plate. Even after many thousands of parts, this plate can be re-furbished or inserted for engineering changes. All of these molds are built from solid blacks of Aluminum and steel using very high speed CNC machining centers. We work from your engineering part models. And because users of this service are usually in a hurry, we plan to take no more than 4 hours quoting any project.
