Injection molding for prototypes is typically suitable for approximately 10 to 5,000 parts per project.

In this range, rapid tooling is particularly economical since no expensive series tooling is required, design changes are still possible, and realistic component tests can be performed.

Depending on the component, our aluminum prototype tools achieve a tool life of up to 50,000 parts and can therefore also be used for pre-series or pilot projects.

We manufacture prototypes from original materials, which are the same plastics that will be used later in series production.

Typical materials include ABS, PC, PA (nylon), POM, PP / PE, as well as technical compounds and specialty materials.

This ensures that mechanical properties, temperature resistance, and component behavior correspond to the later series parts.

Very close. In prototype injection molding with original materials, components are created with almost identical properties to those in later series production.

Yes. In addition to classic prototype injection molding, we also offer special processes such as insert technology and two-component injection molding (2K).

3D printing is ideal for very fast concept models or design studies. However, when material properties, dimensional accuracy, and functional tests are critical, prototype injection molding is usually the better solution.

Classic series tooling is usually only worthwhile for larger quantities and stable component geometries.
