Manufacturers use molding processes to create high-volume orders of precision components, prototypes, and everything in between. There are multiple different types of molding processes available, with blow molding and injection molding being popular options. Both can create high-quality parts that meet tight tolerances and budget requirements. However, there are key differences between the two processes […]

In the world of manufacturing, prototypes are commonly used in both the design and development of physical objects, particularly when large system building construction or manufacturing is involved. Advanced Prototype Molding has over 40 years of experience in building reliable, high-quality prototypes. Here, we will discuss the importance of product prototyping as well as its […]

Injection molding and 3D printing have many similarities since both processes take an abstract design and turn it into a 3D object. However, while they often seek to accomplish the same or similar goals, they also have distinct characteristics that make them appropriate for different prototyping and production projects. For example, 3D printing is an […]

Whether you want to take an idea from concept to prototype or move a design into full production, injection molding is a suitable manufacturing solution. Below, we provide an overview of injection molding, outlining what it is, how the process works, and what to consider when planning an injection molding project. At Advanced Prototype Molding, […]

Moving from prototype to production doesn't need to happen all at once. It is often advantageous to perform additional fit and function testing in-between stages of development. Doing so can help to verify that the final product will perform exactly as intended. Urethane casting and RTV molding can help fill this gap, offering an affordable […]
