Hard tooling is for mass production which can withstand multiple production cycles, allowing manufacturers to quickly produce high volumes of parts.

Hard tooling is ideal for producing durable high-precision parts, but it takes longer to produce because they require heat treatments, post-processing and extra machining to achieve a smooth finish.

Tooling material: Steel (NAK80, STARVAS and etc.)

Injection material: Various plastics (I.e., PC, ABS, PC/ABS, PMMA, Nylon 6/6 or 12, TPU and etc.)

Double-injection or over molding is capable.

Average guaranteed shots: 300,000 (Depends on complexities of parts)

Average Lead Time: 4 weeks for T0 (Depends on complexities)
