Rapid Prototype/Short Run Molds

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.
