RS
Alberts offers the single-most used process in rapid
prototyping:
RTV/Urethane tool molding.
We have been producing parts with this process for the past
30 years. This process provides the most cost-effective mold
for producing a small number of parts.
RTV/Urethane tooling is used only when the
requirements for the finished product fall within the
boundaries of urethane specifications. |

Liquid Resin Casting
is another process in which RS Alberts specializes. Capable of
producing up to 50 parts a day per mold,
LRC
uses specialty urethane that is suited for part designs with
thick wall sections. A tool produced for
LRC
can cost more when compared to RTV/urethane tooling, but the
part pricing drops significantly and is thus more cost effective
for higher volume production.
RS Alberts
was one of the first companies to successfully use epoxy tooling
for
injection molding. 25 years later, RS Alberts
continues to be at the forefront of this industry. If your
project requires a thermoplastic material, our
injection molding process can mold any
thermoplastic material. Epoxy tooling continues to be a
versatile, economical and timesaving method to bring your
project to fruition. |
