When you're racing against a product launch deadline, “good enough” just doesn’t cut it. You need real, production-quality molded parts—fast. At Alltec, we understand how critical speed and quality are in the early stages of product development. That’s why our rapid tooling services are designed to bridge the gap between prototyping and full-scale production—without sacrificing control, cost efficiency, or part integrity.
Rapid tooling is the process of quickly creating molds—typically from aluminum or pre-hardened steel—so manufacturers can produce short-run or bridge production parts in a compressed timeline. It’s faster than traditional mold-making, more durable than prototype tooling, and more cost-effective than waiting months for hardened production tools.
But not all rapid tooling services are created equal.
At Alltec, we combine precision engineering, high-speed CNC machining, and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) expertise to deliver production-grade molds in weeks, not months. Whether you're ramping up to full production or need high-quality molded parts for functional testing, our process is built to get you there faster—without cutting corners.
Unlike some prototype houses that lock you into their systems, Alltec gives you full ownership of your molds. That means you have the flexibility to transfer, scale, or modify your tooling as your production needs evolve—no strings attached.
Our rapid tooling produces real parts from production-grade materials. Need to validate fit, function, or performance under real-world conditions? We’ve got you covered with injection-molded parts that meet your exact specs—ready for test markets, early shipments, or certification.
Choose from aluminum or steel tooling, depending on your part volume and material requirements. Our in-house CNC capabilities allow us to turn around tooling quickly while maintaining tight tolerances and repeatable quality. We support a range of thermoplastics and elastomers commonly used across aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial sectors.
We don’t just build molds—we help build better products.
Our team works closely with yours from the earliest design phases, offering engineering support to optimize part geometry, reduce cycle times, and minimize tooling costs. By integrating DFM principles early in the process, we help you avoid expensive changes later—and deliver tooling that’s built for longevity and performance.
Our streamlined workflow includes:
Early-stage design consultation
Rapid tool build and validation
Short-run injection molding
Scalable solutions for bridge-to-production or low-volume manufacturing
All with the same attention to quality that our aerospace, defense, and high-performance industrial clients have come to expect.
From Boeing and Collins Aerospace to innovative startups pushing the boundaries of tech, our customers rely on us to help them get to market faster—with parts that perform under pressure. Whether you're building flight-critical components, handheld devices, or precision mechanical parts, our rapid tooling services deliver the confidence you need at launch.
At Alltec, rapid tooling isn’t just a service—it’s a strategic advantage. You get:
Short lead times—weeks, not months
Real molded parts in production materials
Full control and ownership of your tooling
Design and engineering support from day one
Scalable solutions that grow with your needs
We’re here to accelerate your success—without shortcuts, surprises, or setbacks.
