Description: The term Rapid Tooling is typically used to describe a process which either uses a Rapid Prototyping (RP) model as a pattern to create a mold quickly or uses the Rapid Prototyping process directly to fabricate a tool for a limited volume of prototypes. RT is distinguished from conventional tooling in that: Tooling time is much shorter than for a conventional tool. Typically, time to first articles is below one-fifth that of conventional tooling. Tooling cost is much less than for a conventional tool. Cost can be below five percent of conventional tooling cost. Tool life is considerably less than for a conventional tool. Tolerances are wider than for a conventional tool.
