3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer, based on a digital model. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting material (like cutting or milling), 3D printing builds objects up from scratch, which allows for more complex and

Vacuum casting, also called urethane casting, is a manufacturing process used to create small quantities of high-quality plastic or metal parts. It involves creating a mould of the desired part and then injecting liquid plastic or metal into the mould under a vacuum. This creates a uniform and detailed part with an excellent surface finish and dime

Glass-filled Nylon resin is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic widely used due to its good fatigue strength, and thermal stability. It is compatible with a wide array of applications requiring rigidity and structural integrity because the added glass fibers act as reinforcement, ensuring uniform stress distribution throughout the material

Design for manufacturing is an efficient engineering concept in product development. Its primary objective is optimizing a component’s design to improve efficiency, streamline the production process, and reduce manufacturing costs.

Rapid tooling is a way to simplify the mould structure for low cost & short lead-time. It's commonly used in the field of rapid injection moulding, based on the low-volume requirement. Ideal Rapid manufactures its own rapid tooling in 7075 rapid aluminium (moulds can be textured) and pre-hardened P20 tool steel, to make the cavity, core and ejector
