There are several options for tooling and prototype parts depending on the intended use of the parts. For certain applications sand castings may be used with great success. Where die castings (and die cast mechanical properties) are needed there are several options for tooling with various lead times and tool life available to meet all program schedules. These include rapid tools, soft prototype tools and production tools.
