Rapid Tooling (RT) is a tool used for rapidly manufacturing products with specific shapes, sizes, and surface precision, mainly used in mass production. The technical fields involved in manufacturing include CNC machining, 3D printing, silicone replication, etc. These technologies can help enterprises manufacture experimental or small batch products that meet the requirements in a short period of time.

The application scope of rapid prototyping is wide, covering various types such as plastic molds, casting molds, stamping molds, forging molds, and graphite electrode grinding mother molds.

According to the different molding materials and molding processes, rapid molds can be divided into direct rapid molds and indirect rapid molds. Direct rapid prototyping typically uses a direct manufacturing process based on RP prototypes, while indirect rapid prototyping involves multiple transformations and electrode methods to achieve the final mold shape.

The production speed and cost advantage of rapid prototyping are its biggest features. Traditional mold manufacturing methods, such as using forgings or profiles, often have long processing cycles and high production costs, especially for molds with complex shapes or internal cavities, which are difficult to forge and process using traditional methods. Relatively speaking, rapid prototyping technology can produce precise molds in a very short period of time, greatly shortening the cycle from design to product production, while significantly reducing the cost of individual products.

The advancement of rapid prototyping technology has also brought possibilities for improving product quality. By using advanced CNC machining technology, precision casting, and electrical discharge machining methods, rapid molds can meet the requirements of high precision and long life, thereby producing products with higher quality and more complex structures. In addition, rapid prototyping can use the same materials as actual production, which helps companies to effectively test and verify product quality and production efficiency in the early stages, reducing potential problems in later production.

It is worth mentioning that the development of rapid prototyping technology has also promoted the manufacturing industry's attention to the environment. For example, the rapid manufacturing technology of silicone rubber molds can not only produce structurally complex parts, but also reduce material waste in the production process, which is more in line with the concept of green manufacturing.

Overall, rapid prototyping technology, with its high efficiency and low cost, is changing the face of traditional manufacturing. It not only accelerates the development cycle of the product, but also enhances the quality and market competitiveness of the product. With the continuous advancement of technology and the growing market demand, the application prospects of rapid prototyping technology will become increasingly broad. For enterprises that want to maintain a leading position in fierce market competition, mastering and effectively utilizing rapid tooling technology will be an important strategic choice.
