Soft Tooling: Rapid Prototyping and Low-Volume Production
Soft Tooling Expertise
Our engineers received specialized training in Japan from industry experts, ensuring the highest level of knowledge and skills.
Materials and Construction
High-Quality Materials
Cavity and core inserts are made from high-quality aluminum or steel for durability and precision.
Free Mold Base
The mold base is free, allowing for cost-effective production without compromising quality.
Advantages of Soft Tooling
Low Cost and Short Lead Time
Rapid production with lead times ranging from 5 to 10 days at a fraction of the cost of traditional tooling.
Risk Reduction
Ideal for research and development testing, trial runs, and reducing risks associated with final tooling.
Versatility
Soft tooling can produce approximately 500 shots, providing ample opportunity for evaluation and refinement.
Soft Tooling Considerations
Cycle Time
Due to lower thermal conductivity, soft tooling will cycle slower than traditional tooling.
Material Life
Lifespan of soft tooling is limited and dependent on the complexity of the part being produced.
State-of-the-Art Mold Fabrication
Precise Mold Production
Equipped with high-end Charmilles EDM and OKK CNC machines for consistent and precise mold fabrication.
