There are more than 15 different processes which are used for molding and converting plastic into variety of end products. Injection molding is a one of the most common methods of producing plastics workpieces. It is a method of forming or molding objects from powdered or granular types of thermoplastic materials. For any\u00a0custom injection molding<\/a>\u00a0projects, injection mold and molding cost are critical factors for development team to decide whether to move forward with this method or not, so an accurate quotation is important for your decision, what information do you need to provide to get an accurate quotation for the injection mold supplier?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n


1. A CAD drawing or A physical sample<\/strong>
CAD drawing is the most intuitive information for your injection mold supplier to see whether it is a ready-to-go design and they quote based on the drawing. Besides, it is better to provide 3D drawing in step\uff0cx-t, igs etc. format that can be read by most of the 3D software. Sometimes, you may have only 2D drawing, which may not be enough to get an accurate quotation.
If you don\u2019t have any drawing but a sample, please send the physical sample to the injection mold maker, they can get the information such as the part structure, dimensions, weight and so on that needed for quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
