Common Questions

If you are looking into injection molding, you are probably asking:

—How much does an injection mold cost?
—When does injection molding make financial sense?
—Which plastic should I use?
—How many cavities should the mold have?
—What causes sink, warp, flash, or short shots?
—What design changes are required for molding?
—Should the mold be made in the USA or overseas?

What Drives Injection Molding Cost

Most of the cost comes from the mold and how the part is designed:

—Tooling (mold) cost
—Mold design and number of cavities
—Material selection
—Part design
—Production quantities
—Mold location

When Molding Makes Sense

The mold itself is usually the largest up-front cost, and small design changes can affect it significantly. A short consultation can help you understand the tradeoffs and quantity thresholds before you commit to tooling.
