Plastic resin- PA6/6T 

The resin has high melting temperature around 380deg C. 

Do we have any other options like silicon molding, Hand molds, Aluminium molding? to manufacture proto samples with low cost, short lead time?

Hey Pawadeppa,

If you are looking specifically for PA6 material, Xometry have it available on CNC machining.

If you are open to change material, Xometry have PA12 available on 3D printing. On SLS or MJF processes you will have parts made quick (2 weeks?), for a cheaper price and very good quality.
