Is Plastic Injection Molding Right for My Project?

When deciding whether the injection molding process is right for your project, it is important to consider the overall production costs and whether the total fits within your project budget. Some of the factors that may influence the cost of production are:

Size and material of the final product
Part design geometry
Mold material
Estimated production quantity

Once you have determined the above parameters, you can extrapolate the final cost. In general, plastic injection molding serves as a cost-effective method of manufacturing parts in high volumes.

After you’ve decided to use injection molding for the production of your component, it is essential to partner with an injection molding company that fully meets your part and production needs.

Some of the qualities to keep in mind when sourcing and selecting a partner are:

Professional experience. Choosing an injection molding partner with a high level of experience is critical. Additionally, an experienced partner can save your company money by optimizing production to reduce lead times, overstocked inventory, and part errors.
Company location. A partner located nearby your facility can be easier to communicate with and offer faster turnaround and lower shipping costs. Keep in mind that a rail served location can result in lower transportation and material costs.
Sourcing partnerships. Companies with sourcing connections often come with easy access to higher quality molding materials and equipment. This quality can result in faster production operations and better quality products.
Facility capabilities. Partnering with a company that meets all of your needs allows you to streamline your operations, saving you time and money. Additionally, they should be able to help you throughout the entire production process, from part design to final delivery.
