Honyo Prototype delivers high-integrity plastic injection moulded parts engineered for functional validation, pre-production runs, and low-volume manufacturing. Our integrated Rapid Tooling and Injection Molding services eliminate traditional prototyping bottlenecks, transforming your CAD designs into precise, production-representative components in record time. We specialize in bridging the critical gap between design iteration and full-scale production, ensuring material properties, part geometry, and surface finishes accurately reflect end-use requirements without the prohibitive cost or lead time of conventional steel molds.
Rapid Tooling & Injection Molding: Your Path to Speed and Certainty
Our core competency lies in deploying advanced rapid tooling methodologies, primarily utilizing high-grade aluminum alloys and precision machining, to produce functional injection molds significantly faster than traditional approaches. This capability directly translates to accelerated product development cycles, enabling design verification, regulatory submissions, and market testing months ahead of schedule. Coupled with our in-house, tightly controlled injection molding processes across a broad spectrum of engineering-grade thermoplastics, we guarantee consistent part quality and dimensional stability from the very first shot. This integrated service is vital for industries demanding rapid iteration, including medical devices, consumer electronics, automotive subsystems, and industrial equipment.
Quantifiable Speed Advantage
The efficiency of our rapid tooling process is demonstrated in the substantial reduction of lead times compared to standard industry practices:

Technical Capabilities

Technical specifications for plastic injection molded parts depend on several factors, including mold material, part geometry, resin selection, and production timeline. At Honyo Prototype, we specialize in rapid tooling and prototyping, delivering T1 samples within 7 days using either aluminum or steel molds, depending on project requirements.
Mold Material Selection:
Aluminum molds (typically 7075-T6 or Al6082) are ideal for low to medium volume production and rapid prototyping due to faster machinability and lower cost. They support up to approximately 10,000–20,000 shots depending on part complexity and resin type.
Steel molds (commonly NAK80, P20, or H13) are used for high-volume production, offering superior durability and wear resistance. They support over 100,000 cycles and are preferred for tight tolerance and surface finish requirements.
Material Compatibility:
Common thermoplastics include ABS and Nylon (PA6, PA66). ABS offers good impact resistance and dimensional stability, suitable for housings and consumer products. Nylon provides high strength, thermal resistance, and chemical resistance, ideal for mechanical and automotive components.
| Parameter | Aluminum Mold | Steel Mold | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mold Material | 7075-T6, Al6082 | NAK80, P20, H13 | Steel for high volume and wear resistance |
| Lead Time for T1 Sample | 5–7 days | 7–10 days | T1 sample achievable in 7 days for aluminum; steel may require additional time |
| Expected Mold Life | 10,000 – 20,000 cycles | 100,000 – 1,000,000+ cycles | Depends on part complexity and resin |
| Surface Finish Options | As-machined, polished, texture | Polished, textured, mirror finish | Steel allows finer surface details |
| Typical Resins | ABS, Nylon (PA6, PA66), PP, PC | ABS, Nylon, PC, POM, PPS | Both molds support engineering-grade plastics |
| Part Tolerance (typical) | ±0.1 mm | ±0.05 mm | Steel enables tighter tolerances |
| Cooling Efficiency | High (aluminum is conductive) | Moderate | Faster cycle times with aluminum |
| Cost | Lower initial cost | Higher initial cost | Steel offers lower cost per part in high volume |
We recommend aluminum molds for rapid prototyping, functional testing, and low-volume launches where T1 samples are required within 7 days. Steel molds are advised for long-term production and applications demanding high precision and surface quality. ABS and Nylon are fully supported in both mold types with optimized processing parameters for consistent part quality.
From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Plastic Injection Molding Process Flow
Honyo Prototype executes a structured, technology-driven workflow for plastic injection molded parts, ensuring precision, efficiency, and client transparency from initial design to final delivery. The process begins with CAD Upload, where clients submit native or neutral 3D model files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) via our secure client portal. Our system automatically validates geometry integrity, checks for common errors like non-manifold edges or insufficient draft angles, and converts files into analysis-ready formats. This step eliminates 85% of preventable design conflicts before engineering review.
The AI-Powered Quoting Engine then processes the validated CAD data, integrating real-time material costs, machine availability, and historical production metrics. Unlike manual quoting, our AI cross-references over 12,000+ historical molds to predict manufacturability risks and cost drivers. For example, it flags wall thickness variations exceeding ±15% or undercuts requiring complex side actions, adjusting lead time and cost estimates accordingly. Clients receive a detailed quote within 4 business hours, including material options (e.g., ABS, PC, ULTEM), tool steel recommendations (P20 vs. H13), and initial cycle time projections.
Engineering-Driven DFM Analysis follows immediately post-quote acceptance. Honyo’s senior manufacturing engineers conduct a rigorous Design for Manufacturability review using Moldflow simulation and custom checklists. Critical parameters are evaluated:
| Parameter | Standard Tolerance | Critical Risk Threshold | Mitigation Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Thickness | ±0.15mm | >25% variation | Rib redesign / gate relocation |
| Draft Angle | 0.5° per side | <0.3° on deep ribs | EDM texturing / split adjustment |
| Gate Vestige | ≤0.1mm protrusion | Gate location on A-surface | Hot runner redesign |
This phase generates a collaborative DFM report with annotated visuals, prioritized action items, and trade-off analysis (e.g., cost impact of switching from 2-plate to 3-plate tooling). Client sign-off is mandatory before tool fabrication.
Production Execution leverages Honyo’s ISO 9001-certified facility with 50+ electric and hybrid injection molding presses (50–1,500 tons). Tooling is manufactured in-house using Sodick EDM and DMG MORI milling centers, with 100% first-article inspection per AS9102. Production batches undergo real-time process monitoring: cavity pressure sensors, temperature-controlled material drying, and automated vision systems for flash/short-shot detection. Statistical process control (SPC) data is accessible via client dashboard, with Cp/Cpk ≥1.33 guaranteed for critical dimensions.
Delivery & Validation concludes the workflow with serialized part traceability (including mold cavity IDs and material lot numbers) and comprehensive documentation: First Article Inspection Report (FAIR), material certificates (e.g., UL 94 V-0), and dimensional CMM reports. Parts ship in ESD-safe packaging with climate-controlled logistics options for sensitive polymers. Standard lead time from DFM approval to delivery is 15–20 days for 2-cavity molds, scalable to 45 days for complex family molds. All shipments include a production deviation log showing zero non-conformances against client specifications.
This integrated approach reduces time-to-part by 30% versus industry averages while maintaining ≤0.5% defect rates, ensuring clients receive production-ready components validated for both form and function.
