DuraMold Prototype Tools
One of the services we provide at DuraMold is the manufacture of prototype tools. This tooling is for customers who require low cost concept tooling to make low volumes of quality production parts with limited time and budget. Production tooling often takes extensive time and effort to design, manufacture, and test, but the prototyping process can result in a quality prototype tool in as little as 20% of the time it would take to make a production tool. That includes sample parts made to ensure the tooling works as intended.
Why Dura Mold?
One of the services we provide at DuraMold is the manufacture of prototype tools. This tooling is for customers who require low cost concept tooling to make low volumes of quality production parts with limited time and budget. Production tooling often takes extensive time and effort to design, manufacture, and test, but the prototyping process can result in a quality prototype tool in as little as 20% of the time it would take to make a production tool. That includes sample parts made to ensure the tooling works as intended.
Another more common reason for building a prototype tool is to prove out production tool design in advance to save time and avoid costly changes by examining prototype tool parts for fit and function, warpage, gate and runner verification for porosity, voids, cold fills and hot spot validation.
From there, design changes can be made and the process continues until the parts are correct. That way, there can be high confidence that the production tool design will be approved and is ready for release.
Either way, our goal is to provide you with a way to cast low volume components quickly and efficiently, or use the prototype process to quickly deliver the best performing high quality production tools on time while staying within your budget, and achieving your performance specifications.
Dura Mold has decades of experience in manufacturing prototype tools, so we can provide these services in a fraction of the time a typical production tool would take, without compromising the integrity, quality, or strength of the tool or part.
Plus, we are a trusted Tier 1 Automotive and OEM partner, so you can be sure you’re getting the best service possible. Whether it’s prototype tools for low volume die cast die parts, or to prove out die cast dies, or plastic injection molds, we commit ourselves to deliver the best tools to meet your needs.
We also ensure that each of our customers has the support of a dedicated customer service cell, a project manager, and management team with a combined century of industry experience to assist them. As with anything we do, Dura Mold strives to deliver service with integrity–from prototype to production.
