From rapid tooling for 100-part pilot runs to hardened steel production molds rated for 1M+ shots, SkillsProto runs a full plastic injection molding service. We offer DFM and mold flow analysis before cutting steel, so T1 samples arrive right the first time.
Rapid aluminum tooling — T1 samples in 7–10 days
Production steel molds (P20, H13, S136), 100k–1M+ shots
Insert molding, overmolding and two-shot molding
Mold flow analysis (Moldex3D) and full DFM reports
30–500 ton machines, 1–32 cavities
Bridge tooling between prototyping and mass production

Rapid aluminum molds for simple parts typically start around USD 1,500; multi-cavity hardened steel production molds range from USD 4,000 to 20,000+. Every quote includes a DFM report so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Rapid tooling uses aluminum or soft steel molds to bridge the gap between prototyping and mass production — perfect for 100–5,000 piece pilot runs at a fraction of production tooling cost.
Yes. We regularly mold over brass/stainless inserts, PCBs and cables, and two-shot TPE-over-PC/ABS parts.
Yes — resin lot certificates, UL94 flammability data and color-matching reports on request.
