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

As with any manufacturing process, injection moulding comes with its own set of design guidelines, and design engineers who understand these best practices will increase their chances of developing structurally sound and cosmetically appealing parts and products.
