• Have you ever heard of rapid tooling before? If
  you are working in the manufacturing industry,
  then you possibly know about rapid tooling
  already. It is also known by a couple of other
  names as well, such as soft tooling and prototype
  tooling. Usually, Rapid Aluminum Tooling allows
  you to get the desired parts quickly and cheaply,
  which eventually enables you to test and validate
  end products before you start investing in
  production tooling.
• No denying that there are several other methods
  which allow faster and cheaper prototypes, but
  the main reason why rapid tooling is the best of
  all is its process and material. Ahead in this
  post, youll discover the key attributes of Rapid
  Aluminum Tooling, just to make you understand why
  it is considered to be a more reliable solution
  compared to other alternatives.

How is Rapid Tooling Better than Other
Alternatives?

• In rapid tooling, its possible to use real
  production grades of material, which helps you to
  get a much clearer picture of how the end
  products will act in the real-world applications.
  Thus, it allows you to test and confirm whether
  you have the made right material choices or not.
  Moreover, you can also use rapid tooling parts
  for stress and impact testing because the
  prototype parts you get through this method are
  injection molded as they would be in actual
  production. Thus, you will be able to detect
  every possible imperfection, such as shrink marks
  or warping and apart from that, you will also be
  able to explore weak areas due to weld lines.
• In short, rapid tooling can be used for testing
  parameters of production, which allows you to
  ensure that final products will fill correctly
  and act as desired. So basically, engineers can
  use this method to detect future flaws as well as
  implement redesigns, which ultimately help to
  minimize the issues with end products.
• Apart from being a prototype and testing method,
  rapid aluminum tooling is also a low-cost and
  quick alternative for the production of injection
  molded parts. However, it is suitable for
  low-volume production, as it allows you to get
  your products in the market in minimum time,
  thanks to the manufacturing speed of rapid
  tooling.
