Why is the RIM process so special?
The answer is simple: It gives you the best value for your budget.
The low tooling investment makes it the ideal process for producing complex, 3-dimensional parts in volumes from a few dozen to a few thousand per year.
The RIM process is unique: two liquids are injected into a mold where they cure and become polyurethane. The resulting liquid has a very low viscosity and easily fills the mold with hardly any pressure.
Alternatively, traditional injection molding requires molten plastic to be injected at a very high viscosity and temperature into very expensive steel tooling. RIM molding requires tooling (molds) which costs only a fraction of Injection Molding steel tools.
Here is a checklist to help determine whether RIM is the right process for your application.
If you answered YES to at least one of these questions you should have us take a closer look at your project and determine if RIM is technically and economically feasible. It costs you nothing but your time to send us your files for review.
