Space Puzzle Molding

A faster prototype with SPM

SPM - space puzzle molding - is the fastest rapid tooling method in the world for manufacturing complex parts with injection molding. The inserts that create the shape are manufactured in aluminum using the latest technologies. For injection molding, the mold inserts- which are taken apart by hand - are inserted in the patented mold frame.

The SPM toolkit system permits the quick and easy exchange of molds between small and large injection molding machines. Compared to conventional injection molding, the mold price in the SPM method is up to 50 percent lower and delivery of the required parts is twice as fast. There is merely an insignificant increase in the parts price as a result of manual demolding.

SPM - the benefits


  • Low-cost production of molding inserts
  • Rapid production of series-identical prototypes in the original material
  • Injection points can be changed quickly and easily
  • Simple creation of complex parts geometries
  • No costs for: ejector mechanism, slide actuation, cooling
  • Rapid and low-cost mold modification
  • ...

If your market launch is looming and you want to carry out a pretest, a series-identical prototype is the answer. Contact us - we will be happy to advise you.
