- Prototype
Plastic Injection - I Recommend using a low cost single cavity (sometimes multi-cavity) tooling to injection mold components. The use of all polymers is at your disposal. You will be able to stress the sample parts just as you would the production part. See the actual color of the product using a color matching system. Typical timing is 2 - 3 weeks lead time. Customers will sometimes use the samples or additional prototypes for validation purposes since the part would be molded in the polymer of their choice in an actual injection molding machine. The component is essentially your finished part except the cost of tooling is kept very low. Anything less, makes the component, just a model.
Model - I Recommend using either Stereolithography or machined to print. The most practical process will be offered upon quotation.

Plastic Injection - When manufacturing you need to consider company accountability. Cost and Quality are also important. Products which fail incoming inspections are not good for your business. I know of companies that buy from low end vendors and have to sort through the incoming parts to weed out the rejects. I don't think this is good for any ones business. I have a responsibility to do it right. Our Injection Molding facility is ISO 9002 Certified and has been accredited by major clients with 100% on-time delivery and zero (0) rejects.
