Accelerate your time-to-market with DFocus PROTOTYPE's rapid tooling services. We produce cost-effective aluminum and soft steel molds in as fast as 10 days, bridging the gap between prototyping and mass production.
- Accelerate Time-to-Market (Tools in ~10 Days)
- Cost-Effective for Trials & Low-Volume Production
- Real Injection Grade 材料
Aluminum molds in 10 days. 100-5,000 shots.
簡易金型 ソリューション
Choose the right tooling material based on your volume, budget, and timeline.
Aluminum Mold Tooling
Highly efficient for prototyping and bridge tooling. Excellent heat dissipation and machinability allow for 15-25% lower costs and 40% shorter cycles than steel. ideal for < 2,000 shots.
Steel Mold Tooling (P20, NAK80)
For higher volume or engineering-grade plastics. Pre-hardened or soft steel molds provide better durability and can handle abrasive materials. Ideal for 5,000 - 50,000+ shots.
The "Bridge to Production" Strategy

簡易金型 FAQ
What is 簡易金型?
Rapid tooling (prototype tooling) uses fast-machining materials like aluminum or soft steel to creates molds quickly. It is designed for low-volume production (100-5000 parts) and validation before investing in expensive production tooling.
How fast can I get parts?
For standard geometries, we can finish the mold and shoot T1 samples within 10 days. Complex parts may take slightly longer.
What is the difference between 簡易金型 and ラピッドプロトタイピング?
ラピッドプロトタイピング (3D printing) creates single models. 簡易金型 creates a physical mold to produce real injection molded parts, offering better material properties and tighter tolerances suitable for end-use testing.
How many shots can a rapid mold last?
Aluminum rapid molds typically last for approx 1,000 - 2,000 shots. P20 steel rapid molds can last 10,000+ shots. We can advise based on your total volume needs.
Rapid tooling buyer fit
Rapid tooling fits prototype molds, T1 samples, bridge batches, and low-volume molded parts when CNC or 3D printing cannot prove molded material behavior. DFM should happen before tool cutting.
Prototype molds, bridge tooling, T1 samples, low-volume injection molding, inserts, and early production validation.
CAD, target resin, quantity, mold life, texture, color, tolerance, and approval plan.
Wall thickness, draft, ribs, bosses, gate position, ejector marks, shrinkage, and parting line.
Tool changes cost more after cutting, so lock material behavior and acceptance criteria before PO.

Buyer FAQ
When is rapid tooling better than CNC or 3D printing?
Rapid tooling is better when the design needs molded material behavior, T1 samples, or a bridge batch before committing to production tooling.
What should a rapid tooling RFQ include?
Send CAD, target plastic, expected quantity, mold life target, texture, color, tolerance, critical dimensions, and sample approval requirements.
How does rapid tooling reduce risk?
It validates part design, gate strategy, shrinkage, cosmetic surfaces, and assembly fit before higher-volume tooling decisions.
