What is
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping – Fast-Track Your Product Development
Rapid prototyping transforms digital designs into tangible prototypes within 1-3 business days, enabling engineers and designers to validate concepts quickly and cost-effectively. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding, this process bridges the gap between early-stage ideas and functional testing.
Why Choose Rapid Prototyping?
✔ Speed to Market – Accelerate design cycles with fast turnaround prototypes
✔ Cost Savings – Reduce development risks by identifying flaws early
✔ Iterative Refinement – Test, optimize, and improve designs efficiently
✔ Multi-Technology Support – Select the best process based on material, precision, and application
Ideal for industries such as automotive, medical, consumer electronics, and aerospace, rapid prototyping enables early-stage validation, functional testing, and stakeholder feedback—ensuring a smoother transition to full-scale production.
Our Prototyping Manufacturing Capabilities
Rapid CNC Machining Prototyping
Fast & Precise CNC Prototyping
for Rapid Product Development
When your project requires functional prototypes in real production materials, CNC machining (including milling and turning) delivers unmatched accuracy and durability. Working with solid metal and plastic stock, this subtractive manufacturing process creates fully dense prototypes that accurately represent final production parts.
Why CNC Prototyping Stands Out:
-
Material Integrity Test designs in actual metals & engineering-grade plastics
-
Speed to Market Get machined prototypes delivered in as fast as 1 business day
-
Broad Material Selection Compatible with aluminum, steel, titanium, ABS, PEEK and more
-
Cost-Effective Iterations Affordable pricing enables ordering multiple versions
At CASTMOLD, we specialize in high-speed CNC prototyping that keeps pace with your development cycle. Our expert machinists combine precision tooling with smart expedited workflows to deliver production-grade prototypes without the production lead times.
Injection Molding Prototyping: High-Performance Parts for Demanding Tests
Injection Molding Prototyping: High-Performance Parts for Demanding Tests. When your prototypes must withstand rigorous evaluation or serve as bridge production tooling, rapid injection molding delivers unmatched durability and consistency—far surpassing 3D printing or CNC for material-specific applications.
Why Choose Injection Molding for Prototypes?
-
Production-Grade Materials Achieve identical mechanical/thermal properties to final parts
-
Cost-Effective Scaling Ideal for 50–10,000 units before committing to mass production
-
Surface Finish & Detail Molded textures, logos, and tight tolerances (±0.05mm typical)
-
Faster Than Standard Tooling Get first samples in 5–15 days (vs. 4+ weeks for traditional molds)
At CastMold, we specialize in accelerated molding solutions for prototypes and low-volume batches:
- 5–10-Day TAT with expedited tooling options.
- Overmolding & insert molding for multi-material testing.
- DFM-driven tool design to avoid costly revisions.
- Seamless transition to high-volume production molds
3D Printing: The Fastest Path from CAD to Prototype
When speed, flexibility, and affordability matter most, 3D printing dominates rapid prototyping—delivering functional parts in as little as 24 hours at a fraction of traditional costs.
Why Choose 3D Printing for Prototyping?
-
1-Day Turnaround Test designs immediately
-
Low-Cost Iterations No tooling required
-
Material Variety From rubber-like TPU to high-temp ULTEM®
-
Design Freedom Complex internal structures & lightweight lattices
At CastMold, we Delivers:
- Same-day printing for urgent revisions
- Multi-material builds (rigid + flexible in one print)
- Post-processing options (sanding, painting, dyeing)
- Expert DFM feedback to optimize printability
Rapid Die Casting: Bridging Design to Mass Production
Rapid die casting is a high-efficiency prototyping solution for producing robust, precision metal parts that meet near-production-grade standards. Ideal for functional prototypes and small-to-medium batches, this process ensures accurate replication of complex geometries and surface finishes, making it perfect for performance validation, pre-production testing, and accelerating product launches.
Why Choose Rapid Die Casting for Prototyping?
-
Cost-Efficient for Early-Stage Production Avoid high tooling costs with simplified molds, ideal for low-volume orders and design iterations.
-
Material Flexibility Supports aluminum, zinc, magnesium alloys, and specialized metals to match final part properties.
-
Speed-to-Market Deliver functional prototypes in days, bypassing traditional tooling lead times.
-
Structural Integrity Achieve high strength, heat resistance, and durability for rigorous real-world testing.
At CastMold, we Delivers:
- 72-Hour Rapid Tooling for urgent iterations
- Multi-alloy compatibility within single tool systems
- Full post-processing (CNC trimming, powder coating, anodizing)
- DFM analytics to balance cost vs. performance
- Bridge tooling for seamless transition to mass production
