Shenzhen, China – December 11, 2018 - HLH Prototypes is a one-stop-shop for all customer's products and fabrication demands. Their Western-managed approach to customer service, speedy delivery, and quality control assist their international customers to deliver projects on time and budget consistently. HLH Prototypes became one of the pioneers of 3D printing technology in China. They now provide both SLS and SLA manufactured parts and prototypes. Besides this, they also offer bespoke project solutions which can be tailored to meet a client's specific project demands. They also provide highly flexible, value for money manufacturing services for all their rapid production, rapid prototype, and rapid tooling products and parts. Speaking about prototype manufacturing, James the Vice GM said, “Sometimes you need prototypes in the “real” production materials or low/mid volumes of parts where production tooling doesn’t make sense. You might have a tight deadline to meet or need to quickly market test a new product iteration. At HLH our CNC rapid injection molding solutions offer fast, high-quality parts from real materials. Depending on your project requirements HLH build molds from either aluminium or steel. We utilize standard mold bases and if possible simplify the tool design to keep costs and lead times to a minimum. Ultimately what we offer is a flexible, tailored solution to realize real injection molded parts in rapid lead times.”
Injection molding is genuinely the only manufacturing answer for large volume, mass market appeal plastic products. One just can’t hit retail price points without injection molding. Even if one is selling directly, they still want to harness the power of a low per piece unit price. The first step is to design a mold for injection molding, and this requires following some rules. The constant is, designing for both full production low-volume tools follow the same rules.
Talking about prototype molding, he said, “All projects and manufacturing processes come with their challenges to and guidelines for success. For rapid prototyping, there are many things you can do to reduce the cost and lead time. The less processing we need to do to the tool to achieve your desired surface finish the quicker and cheaper it will be.”
HLH Prototypes also offer a variety of post process finishing and machining services. Whether a one-off prototype, high volume, or low to medium production runs, HLH Prototypes can help. They are renowned for high-quality prototypes, but it is also their reliability, their understanding of western manufacturing expectations and their customer service that has their clients staying with them through production.
