What Are The Limitations Of Rapid Production Tooling?
In order to achieve rapid results, there are some necessary limitations to the kinds of tools and parts that can be made using this approach. These limitations don’t mean you get an inferior tool. Rather, we simplify the development process in order to achieve the shortest possible production lead time at the least expense.
Better Simplicity
Rapid tools are two-piece molds, with at most two cavities per mold. This means there are no extra sliders or hand-loaded inserts. The geometries must be relatively simple, not requiring sophisticated gate/runner systems or complex cooling channels. Simple geometries allow for basic ejector pin strategies.
Surface Finish
Rapid tools have as-machined surfaces, with minimal polishing or bead blasting. We can make surface finishes for the moldings according to the classification system of the Plastics Industry Association using their general surface finishing guidelines.

Rapid Tooling Materials
NAME | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Aluminum | High machinability and ductility. Aluminum alloys have good strength-to-weight ratio, high thermal and electrical conductivity, low density and natural corrosion resistance. |
Zinc | Zinc is a slightly brittle metal at room temperature and has a shiny-greyish appearance when oxidation is removed. |
Iron | Iron is an indispensable metal in the industrial sector. Iron is alloyed with a small amount of carbon – steel, which is not easily demagnetized after magnetization and is an excellent hard magnetic material, as well as an important industrial material, and is also used as the main raw material for artificial magnetism. |
Titanium | Titanium is an advanced material with excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and strength-to-weight characteristics. This unique range of properties makes it an ideal choice for many of the engineering challenges faced by the medical, energy, chemical processing, and aerospace industries. |
Steel | Steel is a strong, versatile, and durable alloy of iron and carbon. Steel is strong and durable. High tensile strength, corrosion resistance heat and fire resistance, easily molded and formed. Its applications range from construction materials and structural components to automotive and aerospace components. |
Stainless steel | Stainless steel alloys have high strength, ductility, wear and corrosion resistance. They can be easily welded, machined and polished. The hardness and the cost of stainless steel is higher than that of aluminum alloy. |
Bronze | Highly resistant to seawater corrosion. The material’s mechanical properties are inferior to many other machinable metals, making it best for low-stress components produced by CNC machining. |
Brass | Brass is mechanically stronger and lower-friction metal properties make CNC machining brass ideal for mechanical applications that also require corrosion resistance such as those encountered in the marine industry. |
Copper | Few metals have the electric conductivity that copper has when it comes to CNC milling materials. The material’s high corrosion resistance aids in preventing rust, and its thermal conductivity features facilitate CNC machining shaping. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| As Machined | Parts are left with the surface finish directly from the machining process, typically featuring visible tool marks, slight scratches, or milling patterns. This finish is cost-effective and suitable for functional components where aesthetics are not critical. Surface roughness (Ra) typically ranges from 0.8 to 3.2 µm, depending on the machining process (e.g., CNC milling or turning). No additional processing is applied, preserving dimensional accuracy. |
| Bead Blasting | Involves propelling fine glass or ceramic beads at high pressure onto the surface to create a uniform, matte finish. This process removes tool marks, smooths the surface, and provides a non-reflective, slightly textured appearance for mold tooling. Bead blasting is ideal for aesthetic parts or as a pre-treatment for other finishes like painting or anodizing. It improves surface consistency but does not significantly alter dimensions. Surface roughness typically ranges from 1.6 to 3.2 µm. |
| Sand Blasting | Uses abrasive materials (e.g., sand, aluminum oxide) propelled at high velocity to clean or texture the surface, resulting in a matte or satin finish for mold tooling. The finish varies based on abrasive size and pressure, offering a slightly rougher texture than bead blasting. It effectively removes surface imperfections, rust, or coatings and is often used for functional or decorative parts. Sand blasting can slightly increase surface roughness (Ra 2.5–6.3 µm) and is suitable for metals and some plastics. |
| Painting | Involves applying liquid paint or powder coating to achieve a wide range of finishes, including gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, or textured. Painting enhances aesthetics, provides corrosion resistance, and allows for custom color matching (e.g., RAL or Pantone systems) and CNC machining. Multiple layers (primer, base coat, topcoat) may be applied for durability. Surface preparation (e.g., blasting or priming) ensures adhesion. Thickness typically ranges from 15 to 100 µm, depending on the application. |
| Anodizing | An electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer on metals (primarily aluminum), creating a smooth, matte finish with enhanced corrosion and wear resistance. Type II anodizing offers a decorative finish with a thickness of 8–25 µm, while Type III (hard anodizing) provides a thicker (25–50 µm), more durable coating. Anodizing allows for dyeing in various colors and maintains tight tolerances, making it ideal for both functional and aesthetic parts. |
| Plating | Deposits a thin layer of metal (e.g., chrome, nickel, zinc) onto the surface via electroplating or electroless plating, resulting in a smooth, glossy finish. Plating enhances corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and electrical conductivity while providing a premium, reflective appearance. Coating thickness typically ranges from 5 to 50 µm, depending on the metal and application. It is commonly used for CNC machinined parts, decorative parts, fasteners, or components requiring enhanced durability. |
| Polishing | A mechanical process that smooths the surface using abrasives or polishing compounds to achieve a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. Polishing removes micro-imperfections and tool marks, reducing surface roughness to Ra 0.1–0.4 µm. It is ideal for aesthetic components or parts requiring low friction. Polishing can be labor-intensive and is often used for metals like stainless steel or aluminum. It may be combined with other finishes for enhanced results and CNC machining. |
| Chromate | Also known as chemical conversion coating, chromate applies a thin (0.5–7 µm) protective layer (typically on aluminum or zinc) to enhance corrosion resistance and improve paint adhesion. The finish can range from smooth and glossy to satin, with colors like clear, yellow, or iridescent hues. Chromate coatings are electrically conductive, making them suitable for aerospace and electronics applications. The process minimally affects dimensions and maintains a uniform appearance. |
