Rapid tooling – using 3D printed tool inserts to create the finished product in less than 48 hours

OBERHOFER reduces the time required for product development and series production with the help of 3D printed tool inserts.

With our state-of-the-art 3D printing process, we are able to produce ready-to-use mold inserts within 48 hours in order to manufacture products using conventional injection molding processes. We can not only realize 1- but also 2- or 3-component injection molding with this precision.

It often takes less than a week from the initial idea to the finished product made from original material.

Product development and "time to market" for series products are reduced to a minimum. Compared to steel or aluminum inserts that are difficult to produce, adjustments can be made immediately and new inserts can be printed overnight.
