This is the last expensive rapid tooling technique and could give you about a dozen prototype parts in one mold.
On the other hand, composite molding takes about 6 weeks but could produce up to 500 parts in one mold.
They are usually cheaper and have a lower lead time than aluminum tools. Lastly, Direct AIM takes about two week for the fabrication process to finish, producing about 10 parts each day for each of the cavity.
Today’s market offers a variety of technologies to enable the rapid tooling included, of parts. The differences in these technologies lie in the way layers are made in order to create the parts.
