prototype tooling and production tooling are both used on the same kind of plastic parts, and the choice between them changes tooling cost, lead time and the properties of the finished part.

In vacuum forming and thermoforming, texture depth is one of the variables that decides whether a part comes off the machine within tolerance or has to be reworked. This entry explains what
