Rapid Prototyping Service

Rapid Prototyping Service

From Design to Part in 3 Days

As a professional injection molding service provider, we focus on rapid prototyping for injection molding projects, helping you skip the high-cost, time-consuming mold opening process in the early product development stage. Our rapid prototyping solutions deliver high-precision, durable prototypes that perfectly replicate the final injection-molded parts, enabling you to verify design feasibility, test product performance, and accelerate product launch efficiently.

Prototyping Technologies We Offer

  • 3D Printing: Multiple processes including SLS, SLA, FDM, LOM, LDM, MJF, fit for model & structure verification and mold development.
  • CNC Machining: The ideal solution for functional testing with production-grade plastics and metals.
  • Vacuum Casting: Vacuum-infused liquid resin is cast into silicone molds for accurate prototype replication.

Rapid Prototyping

Complete prototypes within 1 week, significantly reduce development costs and shorten product iteration cycles.

High-Precision Replication

Achieve tolerances of ±0.05mm, perfectly match the design dimensions of injection-molded parts, ensuring prototype consistency with final products.

Prototype Functionality Testing

3D printed prototypes support assembly, structural strength, and appearance testing, helping you identify design flaws early before mold opening.

Small-Batch Prototype Production

Support low-volume prototype runs (1-100 pieces), suitable for market validation, sample presentation, and pre-production testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Our 3D printing service supports an extensive material portfolio covering engineering plastics including PLA, ABS, PETG, high-performance resin, metal powder composites and more. We select optimal raw materials tailored to your product’s functional requirements and end-use scenarios.

A: The dimensional precision of additive manufactured components usually falls within ±0.1mm to ±0.3mm. Exact accuracy will vary based on your selected printing equipment model and customized production parameters.

A: Silicone molds for vacuum casting carry far lower manufacturing expenses compared with traditional hard injection molds. This solution delivers great cost efficiency for limited-run prototype manufacturing.

A: Yes, we offer deburring, polishing, sandblasting, painting, and color matching to make prototypes consistent with the final injection-molded parts.

A: Rapid soft tooling boasts drastically reduced mold development costs versus standard production molds. It enables brands to launch small-batch test runs quickly and accelerate product market launch schedules.

A: CNC machining delivers ultra-tight dimensional tolerances down to ±0.01mm. It handles both metallic substrates and rigid engineering plastics perfectly, making it the ideal choice for high-spec functional test components.

A: Absolutely. We offer high-strength engineering-grade materials to support assembly test, snap fit, load bearing and structural verification before formal mold making.

A: 3D printing requires no mold, lower cost and faster speed for early design iteration; CNC suits high-precision hard parts; injection molding is only cost-effective for mass production. 3D printing is the best choice for early-stage no-mold prototyping.
