Prototype & Short-Run Injection Molding

The lead-time required for injection molding tools is often the pacing item for the deployment of a new product. PADT can drastically shorten the lead-time for the creation of most injection molded parts by combining two leading-edge technologies: rapid prototyping for the creation of accurate and strong mold tooling, and short-run injection molding devices to produce actual parts from engineering plastics.

PADT’s well respected capabilities in the area of rapid prototyping play an important role in providing this powerful service. The rapid manufacturing team at PADT utilizes a variety of technologies that are maintained in-house to produce high quality, multi-part molds in a fraction of the time required to machine traditional molds from steel.

The three leading technologies that PADT uses for rapid prototype mold creation are:

1. Epoxy Tooling

2. Nano Tooling

3. Aluminum Tooling

The advantages of these technologies are significant and include:

Faster Turnaround
The use of rapid prototyping technology also allows PADT to deliver first article parts within 10 working days for most parts.

High Quality
PADT’s exacting standards for part quality apply to this service as well. If needed, traditional methods can be applied to parts to ensure production quality and finish.
