  • What additional costs are involved in sourcing from China?
  • When I need a flexible part how do I choose which process to use?
  • Many of my colleagues are buying tools from China, should I?
  • Aesthetics are important, is it possible to colour match flexible parts?
  • Development, Prototype and Bridge tooling, how long does it take and what are the costs?
  • Development, Prototype and Bridge tooling, what is it and when should I use it?
  • What if I do not know the hardness I need?
  • Can I have rubber, EPDM or Viton for example?
  • How is hardness defined?
  • How is Low Volume Production (LVP) tooling different from development or production tooling?
  • The project will need 100's of prototypes, how do I make them economically?
  • My prototype must be in the production intent material (ABS,PC, PA, PP etc) what are my options?
  • What is the effect of quantity, if I only want 1 part or maybe 100 parts?
  • What is the quickest method to get a flexible part?
  • My part is a simple 2D shape, is there an easier way?
  • I need my prototype to look like the final production item; can this be done?
  • If my primary goal is a visual model, which process will give the best substrate?
  • Do I need to change my CAD model to allow for painting?
  • What if I need metallic finishes?
  • Can parts be metal plated?
  • Are vacuum castings painted or pigmented?
  • If I need a gloss/matt/textured finish, can this be done?
