  Injection Molding Costs for Custom Home Appliance Molds

  
  Injection molding is one of the main processes for making plastics. It is widely used for mass production of identical parts with tight tolerances. This is a cost-effective and highly repeatable technique that can produce high-quality parts for mass production.

   

  This is a fast and intensive process that requires high temperature and pressure to inject molten material into the mold. The molten material depends on the scope of the manufacturing project. The most popular materials are various thermoplastics, but metals and ceramics can also be injection molded. The mold consists of a cavity that can hold the injected molten material and is designed to closely reflect the final properties of the part.

   

  Generally speaking, the main cost driver for injection molding is tooling cost. The cost of an injection mold for designing and manufacturing a mold depends on the throughput required, the complexity of the part design, the mold material, and the process used to make the mold.

   

  Simple low-volume 3D printed molds can cost as little as $100, while designing and manufacturing complex molds for mass production can cost the $100,000 mark. While the fixed start-up costs are considerable, the variable costs of the injection molding process are lower due to cheap thermoplastic materials, short cycle times, and tapering labor requirements due to automation and economies of scale.

   

  This means lower variable costs of production, more efficient design of manufacturing injection molding and processes, and lower cost per part as output increases as costs are spread across hundreds or thousands of parts .
