Rapid Prototyping and injection molding

Rapid Prototyping Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. The process of prototyping involves quick building up of a prototype or working model for the purpose of testing the various design features, ideas, concepts, functionality, output and performance.

History Originated in 1960s in manufacturing industry with the development of computer controlled tools, The first rapid prototyping techniques became accessible in the later 80s and they were used for production of prototype and model parts.

Arte Tooling

Initially, rapid prototyping was used to produce models and prototype parts, while these days they are used for a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of production-quality parts. At Arte Tooling, for rapid prototyping supply we build the molds for plastic injection molding. We start the mold design by taking into consideration the injection molding which facilitates us in achieving the shortest molding cycle time at minimum maintenance cost. The work we carry out is with the intent to eventually benefit our customers. Besides high volume orders, we welcome low volume production orders too, keeping in mind that costs aren’t heavy on customers’ pocket. We tend to provide a comprehensive range of solutions to minimize your budget for low volume project with better quality.
