Rapid Tooling:

The term Rapid Tooling (RT) 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:

a) Tooling time is much shorter than for a conventional tool. Typically, time to first articles

is below one-fifth that of conventional tooling.

b) Tooling cost is much less than for a conventional tool. Cost can be below five percent of

conventional tooling cost.

c) Tool life is considerably less than for a conventional tool.

d) Tolerances are wider than for a conventional tool.
