From Concept to Production: How Rapid Injection Molding Accelerates the Product Life Cycle

 

Bringing your product to market shouldn't be a slow and costly process. Rapid injection molding — a service we offer here at HLH Prototypes — can help you accelerate your time to market. This solution allows you to quickly and cost-effectively transform your concepts into tangible realities. It's a valuable tool for product designers, engineers, and innovators who need to stay ahead of the curve.

A game-changing technology

Rapid injection molding offers a faster way to manufacture prototypes and end-use parts within a shorter timeline. It’s quicker because it uses a pre-designed mold made from aluminum or steel, depending on your production volume. For low-volume production, we recommend steel molds due to their proven ability to outlast aluminum molds.

Rapid prototyping makes injection molding a more efficient and cost-effective way to create tangible models of your designs. By speeding up the process, you can quickly iterate and refine your ideas, reducing the time and expense associated with traditional injection molding methods.

Streamlining product development

Rapid injection molding excels in the process of converting ideas into tangible products. It streamlines the product development cycle, especially with easy-to-machine materials like aluminum. In turn, we can make your products move swiftly from the drawing board to the market as soon as possible, giving you more edge in a competitive and fast-paced market.

Furthermore, injection molding offers incredible versatility in terms of materials. You can choose from a wide range of metals and plastics, including flexible elastomers and durable thermoplastics. This flexibility ensures that your end-use parts and prototypes precisely meet your specific requirements for aesthetics, durability, and functionality.

End-use prototype manufacturing

At HLH Prototypes, we offer rapid injection molding as an end-user prototype manufacturing solution. With our ability to produce production-grade parts and prototypes that will perform well in real-world settings. Plus, the costs and lead times are reduced compared to traditional production tooling.

Tips On Choosing The Right Prototypes Plastic Parts For Your Need

  Are you building a  prototype plastic part ? It's crucial to pick asuitable material, but that process can become intimidating as different plastics vary in durability, aesthetics, and strength. Even when prototyping, you’ll want to produce a production-grade prototype that lets you evaluate your product's performance in the real world. Here are some tips to reduce your guesswork in choosing plastics for your prototype.   Consider these critical factors.   Know the purpose of your part and its mechanical functions. You should also consider your manufacturing processes, such as CNC machining, injection molding, or 3D printing. Moreover, determine the quantity, the cost, and the lead times.   Explore commonly used plastics   Reputable manufacturers constantly update their selection of plastics, but these are the most common types you can consider for your  prototype plastic part :   ·         ...

Rapid Tooling: A Perfect Speed to Market Product Development Solution

One of the greatest challenges that product manufacturers and designers face today is finding ways to speed up time to market. With consumer demands leaning toward rapid product development, manufacturers and product designers feel the pressure of having to churn out products in the fastest time possible. Just the same, new product development still requires a prototyping stage in order to ensure the feasibility of the product design, including its general shape and form, assembly, and functionality. Thanks to new technology, rapid tooling methods are becoming increasingly commonplace, enabling manufacturers to reap the benefits of much faster methods to create prototypes, which in turn speeds up product testing, final production, as well as its release into the market at large. Rapid tooling offers faster lead times of mere days instead of weeks or months, just like conventional manufacturing ways. Five to ten days is already a stretch when trying to get at least 50 prototype ...

Different Types of 3D Printing Prototypes

Image
Additive manufacturing lets you build three-dimensional objects based on your digital drawing model. It creates a custom   3D printing prototype  by adding materials one layer at a time or by sintering or fusing powdered materials, depending on the method you use.   Technologies have come a long way and introduced more 3D printing methods to help you make prototypes quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. Here are the most common types you may want to know. Stereolithography SLA 3D printing is among the oldest and most versatile additive manufacturing technologies. It builds the object layer by layer using a photocurable resin cured with an intense UV laser in the build platform. The result is a  3D printing prototype  with a good surface finish and optimum accuracy to the CAD. The process involves support structures to keep the material in place while printing, but these are removed afterward. This technology is ideal for making aesthetic models and ...
