Sheet metal fabrication is the most cost-effective choice for custom sheet metal parts and prototypes with uniform wall thickness. RapidDirect provides various sheet metal capabilities, from high-quality cutting, punching, and bending, to welding services.
Our designing and manufacturing experts manufacture top-notch economical custom injection molds using advanced equipment. We can manage different tolerances as per your demand.
To produce a standard quality thermoplastic part, our plastic injection molding process features precise machinery and operations to transform molten plastic resin into a tailored plastic part.
Our overmolding technique involves bonding plastics, metals, and rubber over each other with a resistant and durable chemical bond. With improved strength, we provided the fastest assembly time.
It is a custom injection molding process where thermoplastic is molded around the pre-built part, to produce a high-strength final product consists of multiple materials.
To ensure part manufacturability and precision of fabricated prototypes and parts, our custom sheet metal fabrication services are in compliance with the ISO 2768-m.
