How much does injection molding cost?
There is no single price per part. Cost is a combination of tooling, material, cycle time, cavitation, volume, finishing and freight. The same part can quote very differently depending on the tool and the volume.
Cost drivers
| Driver | Impact | How to reduce |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling | One-time cost; cavitation and steel drive it | Bridge tool, simpler tool, stable design |
| Material | Resin grade and color | Use the grade the application needs, not more |
| Cycle time | Machine time per part | Cooling, wall thickness, gate |
| Cavitation | Parts per cycle | Match cavitation to volume |
| Finishing | Paint, print, assembly | Specify only visible requirements |
| Freight | Packaging and shipping | Plan packaging and Incoterms early |
Why we do not give an instant quote
A real quote needs the part, material, quantity, tooling route and inspection scope. An instant number without those inputs is usually wrong. Send the drawing and the volume; we will quote the actual route.
What to send
3D file or drawing, material, annual quantity, target date and any cosmetic requirements. If the design is open, tell us which decisions are still open.
