What Our Clients Say?
Tooling That Powers Progress
We create moulds that match the precision, compliance, and scale your industry needs.
Schedule a CallExplore ServicesWhat's the difference between soft tooling and production tooling?
Soft tooling uses aluminium or silicone moulds for low-volume runs (50–500 units) and pre-production validation, while production tooling involves hardened steel moulds for mass production (10,000+ units). We help you choose the right option based on your volume, budget, and timeline.
How long does it take to make an injection mould?
Using our in–house design and machining capabilities, most soft tooling is ready in 7–14 days, while production tooling services take 3–6 weeks, depending on complexity.
This allows you to validate your design quickly before committing to large-scale tooling.
Can I get Mould flow analysis before making the tool?
Yes, we offer full moldflow simulation to predict material flow, cooling time, weld lines, and potential defects. This helps you optimise the mould design before cutting metal, reducing rework and improving first-pass quality.
What is soft tooling and when is it used?
Soft tooling involves low-cost Moulds in aluminium or unhardened steel, for producing 100 to 5,000 parts. It is ideal for rapid prototype tooling, functional prototyping, and low-volume production before investing in full production tooling.
What is the difference between prototyping tooling and production tooling?
Prototyping tooling focuses on speed and design validation, while production tooling services are built for durability and high-volume manufacturing. We help you choose based on volume and timeline needs.
How fast can I get rapid prototype tooling in India?
Our rapid prototype tooling is delivered in 2-6 weeks from our facilities, significantly faster than traditional steel tooling.
Why choose Marcopolo for soft and production tooling services?
Marcopolo is a trusted partner with 1,400+ tools delivered, offering offering soft tooling and production tooling services under one roof.
Can soft tooling parts be used for final product testing?
Yes. Our soft tooling produces parts in production-grade materials, enabling accurate functional, assembly, and regulatory testing.
Do you provide tooling services across India?
Yes. We deliver soft tooling and production tooling services pan-India with reliable logistics.
How does rapid prototype tooling reduce overall project costs?
Soft tooling allows early detection of design issues, reducing expensive changes later in production tooling and cutting total development time by up to 50%.
