Prototype Molding Service With Xometry
Our prototype molding services can help you bridge the gap between initial prototypes and help validate your product for complete production runs. Take advantage of all the technologies, materials, and finishing options Xometry offers within our plastic injection molding services to get the same quality of parts you can expect from a total production run. The price for your molded prototypes includes tariffs to simplify your procurement process.
Our project managers and engineers will work closely with you to understand your project’s unique requirements and help you make informed decisions to optimize for the lowest costs and fastest lead times. To get started, simply upload your 3D CAD file to the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine®. Most projects qualify for an auto-quoted estimate, allowing you to budget and plan your project accordingly without waiting for responses. Once you’re ready, submit your request for review, and our team will work with you closely at every step!
Rapid Tooling Services Overview
Fast Mold Making
We produce rapid tooling using CNC machining and EDM, with aluminum or soft steel mold cavities and stock mold bases and components. This streamlined approach reduces design complexity and shortens lead times, making it ideal for prototype tooling, soft tooling, and other low-volume production applications.
Rapid Injection Molding
Building on our injection mold tooling capabilities, we can quickly start production. Rapid injection molding is ideal for prototypes and low-volume runs. It helps reduce lead times and speeds up validation. We operate over 10 molding machines dedicated to rapid manufacturing.
Why Start With Prototype Injection Molding?
Sometimes it can be challenging to determine whether or not you should start with Prototype Molding or jump straight into Production Molding. Xometry understands every project is unique, and our experts will work with you to make an informed decision. There are a few characteristics that Prototype Molding may be best suited for:
Top Quality
From a prototype mold, we can produce high-quality moldings that are very close to mass production, or 100% matching the final production level.
Better Price
Our experienced engineers optimize rapid tooling design, material selection, and process efficiency to reduce costs without compromising quality. By streamlining the rapid tooling process, we help you achieve high-performance moldings at a lower price point.
Faster Delivery
Quality Guaranteed
We implement strict quality control protocols throughout the entire rapid tooling and molding process. All components undergo 100% inspection before shipment, with dimensional and functional checks performed by experienced QC engineers.
