Rapid Bridge Tooling For Plastic Auto Parts


Rapid bridge tooling foresees and avoids potential production risks
through low-volume production.

About Rapid Bridge Tooling


Rapid bridge tooling is a kind ofsimplified injection mold for plastic parts, which can not only withstand hundreds of pilot runs production for test prototypes close to the final product, but also provide low-volume products for end-users.


Low-volume production of prototypes in 100-1,000 units are the key step before moving to mass production. By hundreds of pilot runs injection molding, it bridges the gap between prototypes and production, helps functional and form-fit tests get through quickly, and drives products into markets.

Features of Rapid Tooling

Low Tooling Costs and Quick Delivery


As a simplified version, the rapid bridge tooling is far more cost-effective than the production mold due to faster mold manufacture and shorter cycle injection time, therefore reducing the mold and overall production costs. 

Applications in Automotive Development


No Rapid Bridges Tooling, No Successful Automotive Development.
When it comes to BETA 2 of new automotive development, rapid bridges tooling will be necessarily required for suitable production quality and quantities. It produces prototypes with production-level thermoplastic resins, rather than CNC machined blocks or vacuum casted polyurethane. It can be widely used in automotive industrial tests, such as functional and environmental tests. Here is specialized in rapid bridge tooling for producing automotive lighting parts, like a lens, lighting blades, housings, bezels, and so on.

Aluminum Rapid Tooling

Aluminum is Strongly Adapted to Rapid Bridge Tooling 


In most cases, aluminum rapid tooling is preferred for plastic automotive parts, not merely as it allows for faster machine times. Aluminum rapid tooling advantages in multi-cavity options, family tooling, in the complexities such as sliders and mold inserts. It lends itself well to modifications in case of prototype updates. 7 series grade of aluminum (like AL7075-T6), the aerospace-level material, is used a lot for rapid tooling, due to its durability and lightweight.
