Injection Mold Cost Estimation and Online Calculator

The mold size:

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

As the mold size increases, the Price Factor decreases. Small molds have lower material costs, yet the reduction in other expenses is not as significant. Conversely, with larger molds, the increase in other costs does not scale proportionally with the rise in material costs.

Complexity: 

The complexity of the mold directly correlates with its Price Factor; more intricate molds command higher prices.

Simple geometric molds can be efficiently machined using larger milling tools, requiring less time. In contrast, molds with complex shapes necessitate the use of smaller milling tools for detailed work, and some parts may require EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), significantly extending the machining time.

Additionally, more complex molds often feature many sliding mechanisms and require more components for assembly.

Precision:

This is because achieving higher accuracy necessitates the use of more sophisticated and expensive equipment, as well as slowing down the tool&#;s movement (feeding) to reach the desired level of precision.

Sometimes, adjustments to the mold&#;s structure are also required to accommodate these precision needs.

Tall ribs and posts

Tall ribs/posts are equivalent to deep grooves/holes within the mold, requiring the application of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Additionally, this will present challenges during the injection molding process and elevate the manufacturing cost of the components.
