Every product starts with a concept or an idea. Often you have already a vague idea in mind what kind of product you want to make.
From there on there are different options:
Now we take over and design a mould based on the CAD model - either towards your machine specifications or make them ready for our specialized in-house production.
We mostly work with more simple injection machines compared to the industry of virgin plastic processing. So designing an injection mould is not rocket science. However it can be quite intrigating in the beginning.
Thats why we wrote a guideline on how to design products for injection moulding
This depends on a lot of factors which are impossible to generalize and are different for each project. If a CAD model is ready, custom made moulds can start from 300€, depending on the project the price can exceed 1000€ quickly. This mostly contributes to a demand for high productive moulds with multiple cavities, which enables a faster and cheaper production in the end.
