Our expertise with low-volume as well as on-demand manufacturing allows us to scale to your needs, whether you need 10 parts, 10,000 parts, or more. Our manufacturing is based directly on your 3D CAD models, reducing the potential for errors. What’s more, our English-speaking team knows never to over-promise — we know when saying, “Sorry, we can’t do that,” is in the best interest of your project, and we don’t hesitate to say so, early on rather than later in the project.

Getting a free manufacturing assessment and quotation is as simple as uploading your 3D CAD model and answering a few questions via our RFQ form. We normally quote within 2 business days, or we may get in touch to request additional information that may be required. In case there are any potential manufacturability issues, our engineers highlight these in the assessment and also suggest possible solutions – all at no charge to you.

Tool / mould costs vary widely depending on the size, complexity, and expected life of the tool / mould. A tool for a very simple part may cost as little as $300, while larger and more complex tools can cost upwards of $3000. With the larger production volumes generally associated with injection moulding projects, tool costs are efficiently amortised across the large number of parts, and cost-per-part is often quite low. Parts can range from $0.01 to $2.00 or higher per part, depending on the part’s material, size, complexity, requirement of inserts, other downstream operations, and of course, production volume. The best way to find out is to get a free quotation and manufacturing assessment for your part.

Machined parts may cost as little as $10, depending on material, size, and complexity. Features such as sharp-edged slots or slender holes and projections tend to increase machining time required and accordingly, cost. The best way to find out is to get a free quotation and manufacturing assessment for your part.
