Advantages of Injection Molding Process for Prototypes Case Study: Protomold Technology does the Talking on C3's Bluetooth Project

In fast-moving markets, product life can be short. As a result, any delay in getting innovative products to market can cut significantly into potential revenue. This is especially true in consumer markets where successful products are quickly imitated, and the sales volume of the first of its kind to market can be enormous. In the competitive consumer electronics market, rigorous testing and evaluation of prototypes would be critical to ensure that the product could meet consumer expectations and hold it’s own against competitors. The challenge would be to prototyping as quickly as possible without slowing the development process or exceeding the development budget. Protomold’s rapid injection molding process offers several advantages. Besides producing molded parts much quicker than traditional molding, it costs significantly less as well. In a development process that could entail multiple iterations of the design, each requiring its own prototypes, the benefits would multiply accordingly.
