>I think there might be some alternatives for all the rapid tooling

>When it comes to accuracy(the 1st priority of production mold),
>all the rapid tooling methods developed so far could't go over
>the conventional CNC tooling.
>For turnaround time too, high speed machining technologies have
>much more possibilty than rapid tooling methods.
>For Invetment Cost, high speed machining technologies can give
>us much more possibilty than rapid tooling methods.
>So I think there is no alternative of rapid tooling tech. except CNC
>HIGH SPEED MACHINING for the time being.
>Is there anyone who has some opinions on this ?
>Any opinion you can give me would be greatly appreciated...
