The detailed technical advice that Materialise offers is very important for us, as we are dealing with the automotive business, a sector which is always demanding a high-quality service. For a wheel arch liner project for Volvo, we received the first off tools within 4 weeks, as requested and were very pleased with the quality. Volvo appreciated the functionality of the R.I.M. models which were immediately set into action for the first road tests.

Reaction Injection Moulding is often the answer when more than one copy is required. Large, functional parts can be produced within short lead times and at very competitive prices.
The R.I.M. materials allow prototyping and small production series of lightweight and mechanically functional products, which is a typical application in the automotive sector. The production cycle time is relatively short allowing a throughput of about 30 parts per week (dependent on size and complexity).
