Rapid tooling, also known as prototype tooling, soft tooling and bridge tooling, is a fast and cost-efficient way to carry out low-volume injection molding for a variety of types of plastic parts.
Once the aluminum or steel mold has been created with the rapid tooling process, it can be utilized as part of a molding process to create multiple copies of a part.
Rapid tooling is therefore used to create moldings for rapid prototyping needs in a shortened timeframe, or to bridge the gap before high-volume production.
