Advantages of TEAM Rapid Tooling
Rapid Tooling Price
1. We are based in China with western management and procedures.
2. We use rapid tooling or prototype tooling methods to save the cost and time. Normally rapid tooling is suitable low volume manufacturing or medium volume production less than 100,000 shots. The tool metal for cavity is much softer compared with traditional production tool, which can reduce the machining time and save the cost. The tooling metal what we used often are aluminum, P20 and NAK80. Aluminum tool is used for quick turnaround parts less than 10,000 shots and without very complex structure. NAK80 tool is commonly used for high glossy parts such as lens. P20 tool is widely used for the parts with a normal polish and most textures, which can last 100,000 shots.
3. We always use the MUD (master unit die) system with a series of mold-bases shared in our factory. One mold-base can be used to the part with similar size and structure. This can help you to reduce the cost and time for manufacturing mold-base.
4. Simplify the slider system and replace with the manual inserts, which is very helpful to save the tooling cost and time as well for the very low volume production, such as less than 1,000 shots.
Apart from the ways mentioned above, we have many other methods for reducing the cost for low volume manufacturing without affecting quality, that’s why our price is always very competitive compared with western and most of Chinese toolmakers.

Case Study
Background
A European startup company was preparing to launch a new smart consumer device but faced several challenges during product development and manufacturing:
- Limited tooling budget
- Tight launch schedule
- Need for high cosmetic quality
- Low initial production volume
- Frequent design revisions during validation
Traditional injection molding suppliers quoted long lead times and tooling costs that exceeded the project budget.
