Custom Rapid Tooling Services in China
Production of tools like dies or molds used to take months in the past. However, rapid tooling can help make them in hours to days. Additionally, this service ensures high precision and tight tolerance in tools.
Multi-Wins offers high-quality custom rapid tooling services in China. We provide this solution to help clients validate designs, perform functional testing, and start low-volume production runs. This means you don't have to bear the high costs and long lead times of traditional production molds.
What sets our rapid prototyping apart is its affordable pricing. You'll get high-quality production with utmost precision at an affordable rate.
What is Rapid Tooling?
Rapid tooling is an advanced mold manufacturing process. It combines rapid prototyping (such as CNC machining or 3D printing) with the durability of traditional injection molds to quickly produce functional prototypes or low-volume production parts. It can create a die with rapid tooling in a few hours. If you made the same die using conventional methods, it would take a few days or even months.
Multi-Wins offers rapid tooling services and produces prototypes of various parts. These prototypes help us get customer approval; then we start bulk production. During production, we use various CNC machines, 3D printers, and other machines. All these machines help us make molds, dies, and other parts with tight tolerances.
Our Rapid Tooling Capabilities
Multi-Wins has been offering rapid tooling solutions in China for over 20 years. We accept orders from all over the world, and deliver the made parts to doorsteps. What makes us stand out is our advanced CNC machines and 3D printers. They allow us to make the tools with utmost precision and tighter tolerances. Here is the list of key capabilities for rapid tooling:
CNC Machining
We use CNC machining for most rapid tooling projects. This method uses computer-controlled cutting tools to cut metals and plastics precisely. This makes it possible to quickly obtain parts or cavities of the molds that are close to the final mold performance.
3D Printing
3D printing technologies (such as SLA, SLS, and DMLS) directly generate mold cavities or prototypes by depositing materials layer by layer. This eliminates the need for traditional mold opening and substantially reduces the development cycle.
Silicone Molding/Vacuum Casting
Using a CNC or 3D-printed master pattern as a foundation, a mold is formed by pouring silicone. Polyurethane (PU) or ABS resin is poured into the mold under a vacuum. This is a common and cost-effective method for small-batch production.

Materials Used in Rapid Tooling
These are the most common materials used in our rapid tooling and prototyping service. However, if you want to use material other than those listed below, worry not! We can use any custom material you recommend and make tools using our services.
Aluminum: Aluminum can be considered one of the best choices for rapid tooling because of its excellent thermal conductivity. This can help molding processes cool faster. It also offers good strength and durability for producing several hundred to a few thousand parts.
Steel: For longer tool life and higher production volumes, opting for steel toolings is best. Although the production time will be longer, steel toolings can endure higher pressures and temperatures, which makes them ideal for more demanding applications.
3D Printed Molds: In some cases, 3D printing is used to create the molds directly, especially for low-volume production or prototypes. However, 3D printed molds are typically limited to certain materials and may not be suitable for high-volume production due to their limited durability.
Silicone Rubber: Silicone rubber molds are often used for casting urethane, low-temperature thermoplastics, or short-run injection molding.
Advantages of Rapid Tooling
Rapid tooling is becoming very popular. In fact, it has replaced traditional manufacturing processes. Are you wondering why you should prefer rapid tooling? Here are some prominent reasons:
Fast Speed
Rapid tooling is known for its speed. With this manufacturing, you'll get the tools or parts made within days. Traditional manufacturing processes are slow and are being quickly replaced by rapid tooling.
Design Flexibility
Rapid tooling involves the use of high-end machines. Those advanced machines allow to modify the design during the rapid tooling process. So you can change the design without restarting the project from scratch.
Materials Range
It is a versatile manufacturing process. It can make different parts and tools (dies and molds) from various materials. Those include metals, plastics, including nylon, ABS, and polycarbonate.
Precision & Quality
We have 250+ advanced CNC machines. These CNC machines get computerized instructions to make parts. They make the parts with exceptional precision and tight tolerance. As a result, don't worry about precision and quality!
Cost-effective Option
Rapid tooling may sound sophisticated and premium. Right? This makes people believe that this manufacturing process is expensive. Remember, rapid tooling is a very affordable option, especially for prototyping and sampling.
Ideal for Prototyping
Rapid tooling is the best option for prototyping and testing. You can quickly make the desired part of the tools and then test it. If it meets the desired result, you can then start bulk production. Many industries use rapid tooling, especially for prototyping.
Applications of Rapid Tooling
Rapid tooling is a versatile manufacturing process used in both prototyping and bulk production. However, it is more preferred for creating prototypes for testing purposes. This initial rapid tooling part helps in the final product development process. Its applications are widespread in many major manufacturing sectors.
From aerospace to automobiles, this manufacturing process stands out for its rapid production. Here are some key applications of rapid tooling:
| Industry | Application |
|---|---|
| Automotive | Injection molds, die casting molds, lightweight metal parts |
| Aerospace | Die casting molds, precision metal components |
| Electronics | Plastic housings, body parts |
| Consumer Products | Plastic enclosures, pilot production runs |
| Industrial Equipment | Custom components, test jigs, short-run tooling |
| Product Development | Pilot runs, tooling, low-volume molds |
| Appliances | Plastic body components, fitting, vacuum-formed molds |
