RIM molded hut from composite-hybrid mold Invented here. Rimnetics has the U.S. Trademark on RPS. 

RPS® Tooling: This "hut" crowns an industrial interferometer used by IBM, Seagate, and others. Client Veeco had only a few weeks left in their schedule when Rimnetics built an RPS® mold 20" deep.

Sheet metal and fiberglass were no match for the cost effective RIM process.

Polyurethane RIM panels almost 6 square feet

Aluminum tooling: the perfect choice for special applications.

The Leco Jaguar is a time of flight mass spectrometer used in analytical laboratories. These side panels are 32" x 28", the mold tooling is machined aluminum.

RIM rapid production system molding/structural ribs molded in RPS® Tooling: Becton Dickinson needed a 36 cubic foot enclosure for their latest 2 or (optional) 3 laser flow cytometer. Sheet metal was thumbs down, as was vacuum forming. 

RIM allowed molded in ribs, low tooling investment and more.
