Tooling + Injection Moulding

Prototypes are most useful when they’re made of the same plastic as the final production part. And during product development, quick feedback is essential. But it’s hard to justify the cost to create injection moulded prototypes when they require the same expensive, time-consuming tooling as production parts — even though you only need a small quantity of parts for testing.

Benefits of Tooling and Injection Moulding

PolyJet 3D printed moulds are not production tools. But during the design and testing phase, they offer a clear advantage over conventional injection moulding. Product designers and manufacturers can use these moulds to perform thorough functional testing without worrying about cost-prohibitive tooling. Flaws based on the final production process, geometry or choice of plastic can be discovered early, when they are easiest to fix. This can reduce costly, time-consuming mould corrections, increase product innovation and speed product development.
