Rapid Tooling and Somos® PerFORM
• Rapid tooling is any mold-making process that can create tools
quickly and with minimum direct labor.*
• Somos® PerFORM delivers real, injection-molded parts in 3 to 5 days.
This allows you to test your designs faster – and with parts
fabricated in your preferred material.
*Society of Manufacturing Engineers
What Rapid Tooling can do for you
• Produce real, injection-molded parts − not simulated parts − in 5
days or less.
• Shorten your qualification cycle.
• Save on tooling costs in
low-production volume runs
by avoiding electrical
discharge machining (EDM)
and computer numerical
control (CNC).
• License to think outside of
the box — or mold in this
case!

Rapid Tooling Design Contest Winner
Rapid tooling successfully produced 50 finished back-plate mirror parts
made of ABS. These parts were used to test housing on glass actuators
and connectors.
In addition, the customer was able to run a second material (glass- filled
nylon) through the mold.
