Injection-moulded parts produced in three days

Thanks to its recent investment in, CNC machining centres, the Protomold Company can offer production quality, finished injection-moulded parts - from CAD model - in just three days.

Whilst conventional injection moulding technology can take anything up to four or even six weeks from receipt of a 3D CAD model to shipment of parts, Protomold has been routinely achieving the same result in as little as five days since it began its European operations just a few short months ago.

Now, Protomold is delighted to announce that products falling within certain size and design parameters can be delivered even faster.

"By providing design engineers with three-day turnaround, we are giving them the ability to better manage their product design, reduce the number of pre-production difficulties and bring products to market quicker than ever before," said Protomold UK general manager, John Tumelty.

"Customers submitting part models using our web-based quoting system ProtoQuote can receive detailed manufacturability analysis and an all-in production price in as little as an hour.

Once any part modifications have been made, we can deliver finished parts in a production-intent material in a matter of days and for as little as GBP 1795," he said.

"I do not think there is any other way of getting high-quality, precision parts manufactured as quickly or for such a low price." Companies and design engineers who take advantage of Protomold's rapid manufacturing process can easily react to last-minute design changes, schedule revisions and reduced time-to-market, whilst keeping costs within budget.

* About The Protomold Company - The Protomold Company has radically changed the economics and lead times associated with prototype and low volume production of injection-moulded parts.

Rapid injection-moulding is positioned between rapid prototyping and conventional high-volume injection-moulding.

Using proprietary web-based software and high-speed CNC machine tools, Protomold's customers get real injection-moulded parts or prototypes in a matter of days at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.
