RIM Molding: Overview

Innovation over the years allows Osborne Industries to manufacture RIM parts that are highly competitive, even at very low production volumes. Our low-cost composite tooling and specialized production methods mean our RIM molding services can compete economically with other processes for intermediate volumes of 500 to 50,000 parts per year.

Osborne's durable, low-cost composite RIM molds offer production flexibility early in the life of your project, allowing you to convert to high-speed metal tooling for high-volume production when your market dictates.

Osborne's specialized RIM molding process allows you to:
Market test your new concepts inexpensively
Keep investment tied to market success
Increase to full production as sales grow
Profit from low- and medium-volume RIM production and from long mold service life
With the ability to accommodate larger RIM parts and tougher specifications, Osborne routinely engineers and manufactures large, heavy, high-performance parts up to 25 sq-ft and 50 lbs. The platen size and tonnage of our presses can handle your largest RIM parts. Our precise control of reaction chemistry, cure times, and reinforcements means we can meet or exceed your toughest production requirements.

Osborne supports its longtime RIM molding expertise with an unwavering commitment to quality:
SPC methods control all phases of production to ensure defect-free deliveries
All incoming RIM material must meet exacting quality tests
All RIM parts are fully post-cured under controlled conditions for optimal physical properties
Our quality assurance laboratory provides NIST-traceable measurements for accurate SPC control
