Cost Reduction Tips in Injection Mold Design (Mechanical Engineering - From Basics to Practical Insights) Injection molding is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes for plastic parts. But did you know that up to 70% of the total cost of a plastic component is determined at the mold design stage? That's why optimizing mold design is key to reducing cost while maintaining quality. Let's break it down step by step •1. Part Design Simplification Avoid unnecessary undercuts and complex

Discover strategies and best practices in design for injection molding, a method for producing cost-effective plastic and metal parts. Design for injection molding is a multifunction role that requires an experienced and calm approach from the designer, balancing the often competing and divergent needs of product function, aesthetics, manufacturability, moldability, QA and end user appreciation of the product.
