Rapid Cut Tooling

Ideally suited for low volume production or where parts are required in very short timescales.

Parts can be moulded in as few as 3 days from order.

The advantages over vacuum casting are :-

  • Parts can be produced in production specification material.
  • Relatively easy and cost effective.
  • Modifications can be easily introduced.
  • Invaluable data can be accumulated for production tooling.
  • Tools can be used to bridge into production.
  • Low component costs compared to RIM.
