Rapid injection moulding at NICE Rapid supports prototype injection moulded parts in production thermoplastic resins. These parts can be used for final design sign-off, functional testing, fit and assembly validation, and sales launches.
NICE Rapid has extensive experience in rapid manufacture of aluminium and soft tool-steel tooling for high-quality low to medium-volume production. Production volumes from 50 to 100,000 parts can be produced at a reasonable cost per piece, depending on part geometry, material, and tooling strategy.
All commercially available thermoplastic materials can be considered for rapid injection moulding projects. Material selection is based on mechanical, thermal, chemical, and cosmetic requirements, as well as target unit cost and production volume.
Surface finishing services for rapid injection moulded parts may include:
Design for Manufacture (DFM) is offered to help minimise tooling costs and expedite the manufacturing process. NICE Rapid provides a detailed DFM report that reviews part design and highlights potential problem areas related to moulding, tooling, and assembly.
By addressing design issues early, DFM helps to reduce the risk of costly re-tooling or delays caused by problematic part designs. When combined with mould flow analysis, DFM can further optimise gate locations, filling patterns, and cooling, supporting more stable production and lower overall cost.
