Injection Molding Prototype Company

TEAM MFG is a full service plastic injection molder that specializes in the development of low-volume and prototype tooling. This process allows our customers to thoroughly inspect and test the finished products before they are printed. This eliminates the need for a full production run.

There are many reasons to prototype before starting full-scale production. Examples include:

Consumer research: 

● Quality assurance purposes

● Show buyers a finished part instead of a sketch, drawing or rendering

● When significant testing or proving out is required

Injection Molding Prototype Quality

Having a prototype doesn't mean lower quality. Ours are made with the same high-quality materials and are typically produced as standard production ones. At TEAM MFG, our prototype mold bases are made from high-quality steels, while the tool steel insert and cores are molded with robust strength.

This process allows us to produce a prototype while still building a full production mold. This eliminates the need for a die and a mold.Our approach offers the following benefits:

● Reduces costs

● Shortens lead times

● Improves throughput

Customers wanting to order more than a thousand cycles are encouraged to avoid prototypes and move toward standard injection molding. While many customers prefer to use prototype dies, others are encouraged to move away from this process and toward standard molds. These are more durable and can withstand higher production rates. Injection-molded prototypes are very beneficial for validating parts engineering and eliminating imperfections before mass production.
