FAQ
1. Q: What is the cost of a mould?
A: The cost of manufacturing injection moulds depends on a very large set of factors ranging from number of cavities, size of
the parts (and therefore the mold), complexity of the pieces, expected tool longevity, surface finishes and many others.
The initial cost is great, however the piece part cost is low, so with greater quantities the overall price decreases. With global
competition, companies with an ISO-Quality system usually will have better pricing as they have streamed lined their process
and produce less defects.
