Applications for RIM are usually those with low annual production volumes associated with them. Usually these can range from 200 units per year up to 20,000 units. ## Industries with Applications for Reaction Injection Molding Industries with applications for RIM molding include: - ### [Medical & Healthcare](https://www.rim-molding.com/medical-technology/?hsLang=en) - ### [Automotive](https://www.rim-molding.com/rim-molding-bumpers/?hsLang=en) - ### Electronics - ### Aerospace - ### Marine - ### Construction - ### Sports & Recreation - ### Consumer Goods - ### Various Other Industries ## Common Applications for Reaction Injection Molding Typical applications for RIM molding include: ![RIMMolding-Applications_MedicalDeviceCovers](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-Applications_MedicalDeviceCovers.png) ### Medical Device Covers ![RIMMolding-Applications_StructuralParts](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-Applications_StructuralParts.png) ### Device or Electrical Enclosures ![RIMMolding-Applications_Housings](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-Applications_Housings.png) ### Housings ![TC-Website-pictures-004-1](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/TC-Website-pictures-004-1.png) ### Structural Parts ![bumpers-guards](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/bumpers-guards.png) ### Bumpers ![RIMMolding-spoilers](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-spoilers.jpg) ### Spoilers ![TC-Website-pictures-004-1](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/TC-Website-pictures-004-1.png) ### Interior Trim Components ![thumb_246_146_Mikroeffekt_Strukturlack443-1](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/thumb_246_146_Mikroeffekt_Strukturlack443-1.png) ### Panels and Doors ![Rim-molding-specialized-parts](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/Rim-molding-specialized-parts.jpg) ### Specialized Parts ![RIMMolding-Applications_HeavyEquipmentConsoles](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-Applications_HeavyEquipmentConsoles.png) ### Heavy Equipment Consoles ![RIMMolding-Applications_ElectronicGlassEncapsulation](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-Applications_ElectronicGlassEncapsulation.png) ### Electronic/Glass Encapsulation ![Bio-Rad-Gel-Size](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/Bio-Rad-Gel-Size.png) ### Analytical Machines ![ROVER-web_0](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/ROVER-web_0.png) ### Carts ![RIMMolding-boat-components](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-boat-components.jpg) ### Boat Components ![se3_patroller_lg](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/se3_patroller_lg.png) ### Recreational Vehicles ![RIMMolding-sporting-equipments](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-sporting-equipments.jpg) ### Sporting Equipment ![RIMMolding-furnitures](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-furnitures.jpg) ### Furniture ![RIMMolding-appliance-parts](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-appliance-parts.jpg) ### Appliance Parts ![RIMMolding-tool-handles](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/RIMMolding-tool-handles.jpg) ### Tool Handles [Connect With Us](https://rim-molding.com/about/contact-us?hsLang=en) ## Specialized Applications for Reaction Injection Molding - ### Large Component Manufacturing - ### Products Exposed to High Temperatures - ### Products That Need to Be Durable - ### Products That Need to Be Chemically Resistant - ### Products with Complex Parts - ### Products with Varying Wall Thicknesses - ### Products with Encapsulated Parts - ### Products That Benefit from Fewer Parting Lines ## Recent Reaction Injection Molding Applications from Thieme ![Nino-Vereos-Show-scaled](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/Nino-Vereos-Show-scaled.jpg) ### Philips CT/PET Scanner Translucent Light Ring with High Gloss Finishes Covestro Prism CM-200 PUR Parts up to 7’ x 7’ ![Volvo-Bumper-1](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/Volvo-Bumper-1.jpg) ### Volvo/Prevost Luxury Motorcoach Bumper Elastormeric PUR Nearly 10’ long, single shot ![ROVER](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/ROVER.jpg) ### MarCor Water Purification Cart Molded in a single Shot Baydur 726 4’ x 3’ Complete Assembly at Thieme ![se3_patroller_lg-1](https://rim-molding.com/hubfs/se3_patroller_lg-1.png) ### Segway Three Wheel Police Patroller Body Four Parts Elastomeric Bayflex PUR [Connect With Us](https://rim-molding.com/about/contact-us?hsLang=en) ## Leverage Custom Reaction Injection Molding for Unique Applications with Thieme Thieme specializes in custom reaction injection molding solutions for a wide range of devices, industries, and applications.
