What is RIM Moulding?

Reaction Injection Moulding, known as RIM moulding, is the process of injecting polyurethane resin into a mould under low pressure. 


It is an accurate, low-pressure technique that creates robust and durable parts.

Benefits

  • Cost-efficient alternative to hard tooling.
  • Robust parts.
  • High-temp materials available.
  • Strong parts.

Applications

  • Underbonnet components.
  • Medical devices & lab equipment.
  • Marine, diving & sonar devices.
  • Prototypes.
  • Robust base units.
