Until recently, Molded Pulp tooling costs and lead times had been an obstacle for some projects. However, here's the latest news about Molded Pulp tooling:

Molded Pulp Tool View Larger Image Molded Pulp tooling is less expensive than EPS tooling due to the flexibility of the Molded Pulp machine design. Low cost Molded Pulp prototype tools provide production-quality sample parts within two weeks. Molded Pulp production tooling can be turned around in as little as three weeks. Molded Pulp tooling can be made modular, in anticipation of slight model changes in the future. Existing molded pulp tooling can be used on our molded pulp system.   Production Molded Pulp tooling can now be guaranteed up to five million cycles, extending its lifetime, so costs are reduced over the long term. The ability to use a variety of materials for Molded Pulp tooling means the tooling production process is now less expensive. Single cavity tools for low volume projects keep costs down.
