How much is the cost of injection molding?

Generally speaking, the simple injection mold opening cost is generally about several thousand yuan, and the complex injection mold opening cost is generally about tens of thousands of yuan, or even higher, mainly to see the complexity.

The cost of injection molding is usually composed of the following four parts:

(1) Design costs: design costs are the first step of injection molding, including product designers to design the overall structure, function, appearance, etc. of the product, as well as parameter matching and process design according to the selected injection molding machine. This part of the cost depends on the complexity of the product and the design cycle, generally accounting for about 10% of the total cost.

(2) Mold manufacturing costs: mold manufacturing costs are the main part of injection mold opening, including material costs, processing costs, assembly costs, etc. This part of the cost depends on the complexity of the mold, the type of material, the processing accuracy, etc., generally accounting for about 50% of the total cost.

(3) Injection molding machine cost: injection molding machine is the necessary equipment for injection molding mold opening, according to the size of the mold, the weight of the injection molding product, production efficiency and other requirements to choose. This part of the cost depends on the brand, model, new and old degree of the injection molding machine, generally accounting for about 20% of the total cost.

(4) Other expenses: including trial fee, inspection fee, transportation fee, etc. The test fee refers to the cost required for trial production of samples, the test fee refers to the cost required for testing the mold and product, and the transportation fee refers to the cost required for transporting the mold and product to the factory. This part of the cost depends on the specific situation, generally accounting for about 10% of the total cost.

In summary, the cost of injection mold opening depends on the complexity of the product, the type of materials, processing accuracy, equipment requirements, etc., and the specific cost needs to be evaluated according to the actual situation. In general, the cost of injection molding is between thousands and tens of thousands of yuan, and the specific cost needs to be evaluated according to the actual situation.
