Hi.
First question: Is there a FAQ available before I start asking questions?
Here are my questions anyway...
I am looking for a company that would be able to do rapid tooling
for a family tool of three relatively small parts. The tool would have
to be able to have a life of approximately 100,000+ parts made of
30% glass-filled S.A.N.
The parts are roughly 1"x1"x.5", 2"x3"x3" and 1"x1"x5" hollow parts
with drafts suitable for a simple injection mold. We have our own
molding facilities as well as our own mold shop. Unfortunately
our mold shop is overloaded.
Should I be asking for a mold insert or a full mold? Should we be
looking for 3D Keltool, ProMetal or something else?
We also would like to have some of these parts immediately - RTV?
If the rapid tooling lead time is short enough then we wouldn't really
need the RTV parts.
I am located in the Toronto area. Someone local would be ideal
but with shipping so widely available this should not be a concern.
Thanks in advance,
Najeeb
