RAPITYPES SPECIALISE IN THE PROTOTYPING AND LOW-VOLUME MANUFACTURE OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS.

Most clients appreciate a company that can take the strain – a willing organisation with skills at hand and advice to offer.  So when production intent rapid tooling components are needed to fast track a pilot build, or perfect a drop test, or conduct a consumer trial, or run an analysis or carryout environmental testing, Rapitypes can step in with the answer.

Their help can make the task of getting prototype parts or low-volume production components in target plastic materials straight forward and cost effective.  Using the latest 3 & 5 axis high speed CNC machining centres, Rapitypes can produce highly accurate components in the selected target thermo plastic material, direct from CAD data.

High speed CNC machining can also be a solution for low-volume production requirements – if the predicted volumes do not warrant an investment in injection mould tooling, this option can be an attractive alternative.
