Prototype tooling is used for low-volume testing and design validation, whereas production tooling is designed for long-term, high-volume manufacturing.

2. How does prototype tooling benefit manufacturers?

Prototype tooling allows manufacturers to refine designs, test functionality, and detect potential issues before mass production, reducing costs and development time.

3. What industries use injection mold tooling?

Injection mold tooling is widely used in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial manufacturing to produce precision-molded components.

4. How long does it take to produce prototype injection mold tooling?

Turnaround times vary based on complexity, but prototype injection mold tooling typically takes a few weeks to ensure high-quality, functional molds.

5. How do I choose the right prototype tooling supplier?

Look for prototype tooling suppliers with experience, cutting-edge technology, and a track record of delivering precision tools like GTV.

Injection Tooling

GTV Tooling also provides customers with high quality steel injection mold tooling made in China designed to meet their long run production needs. Tools follow a rigorous design procedure and program management system. Tools are designed to all customer provided mold specifications and checked and trialed thoroughly prior to delivery. Try-outs are done on site at mold plant prior to shipment and validating try-out capability in the through our local Detroit area tool and molding partners. GTV supports all logistics and transport necessary to deliver the injection mold tooling to the customer ready for use.

Special Fixtures and Equipment

The GTV Tooling team has supported a number of customers in fabrication of specialized fixtures and testing equipment. By utilizing its extensive automotive product experience across the company’s engineering staffs and leveraging its innovative and solution oriented culture, GTV has identified time and budget saving concepts in its development process which has allowed to to fabricate this type of equipment fast and efficiently for its customers unique applications for both prototype and production testing.

GTV can also fabricate gauges and assembly aids as necessary to support all in house production requirements and has third party certification available for all necessary products.

RIM/Forming Tools

The GTV Tooling team worked closely with an Agricultural Heavy Equipment plastic component supplier to develop and fabricate tooling suitable for large in mold paint RIM molding. This tooling required mirror polish for class A finish and required unique mold structure and shutoff characteristics. The GTV collaborated hand in hand with the customer in this project for a successful execution of the job.
