What is low volume injection molding?

Low-volume injection molding is an ideal solution for producing small quantities of parts quickly and affordably. This process is used when companies need prototypes, short runs, or want to test the market with a small batch before committing to mass production.

Why Low-Volume Injection Molding?

Low-volume molding is ideal for companies looking to test prototypes, produce small batches, or create a functional prototype before committing to mass production. However, many businesses face challenges such as high tooling costs, long lead times, and difficulties in achieving high precision. Our approach addresses these pain points directly, offering solutions that save time, reduce costs, and ensure consistent quality throughout your production process.

Low volume injection moulding vs Rapid Prototype injection molding

Low volume plastic molding is best for small to medium production runs, typically ranging from few hundreds to few thousands parts. This process is ideal for producing high quality parts with exceptional precision and accuracy.

Rapid Prototype injection molding is used to create a small number of parts for product development validation and testing purposes. This process is often used early in the design phase to refine product designs before moving into larger-scale production.

Low Volume Injection Moulding Process

Short run injection molding is a manufacturing process that involves injecting molten plastic into a mold. The plastic is then cooled and solidified, resulting in the final part. This process is highly efficient and can be used to produce plastic parts in relatively low volumes.

  1. Product Design & Optimization: We start by refining your product design to ensure that it meets both functional and cost goals. 
  2. Material Selection: We help you choose the right materials for your application, whether it’s thermoplastic or specialty materials. 
  3. Prototype Development: Using 3D printing and CNC machining, we create prototypes for testing and validation. 
  4. Mold Design & Manufacturing: We manufacture custom molds, including aluminum molds for low-volume production. 
  5. Production: Our team uses Engel presses to ensure that each part is produced with high precision and quality control. 
  6. Post-Production Services: We provide secondary services like assembly, finishing, and packaging, completing your end-to-end solution.

Benefits of Low Volume Injection Molding

  • Faster Time to Market: Produce and test your product before mass production. 
  • Cost-Effective: Ideal for testing designs without expensive tooling costs. 
  • Flexibility: Custom molds can be made quickly, allowing you to modify your parts as needed.

Short Run Injection Molding Disadvantages

  • Limited Quantity
  • Higher cost per part

Short Run Plastic Molding Application

Low-volume injection molding is used across many industries for applications such as:

  • Automotive Parts
  • Medical Devices
  • Electronics
  • Consumer Goods
  • Industrial Equipment

Whether you need prototypes or small-scale production, our services are designed to meet the demands of your industry.

Key considerations in injection molding short run tooling Design

  • Mold complexity: The complexity of the mold design is an important consideration when producing small quantities of parts. Simple molds are often more economical for low run injection molding, as they require less time to design and manufacture.
  • Mold design is important to the small scale injection molding process. It can have a significant impact on the overall cost. We can reduce the cost of the mold by making the slides and threads in the mold by manual. However, this could increase the injection molding cycle times.
  • Tooling steel: normally we use Aluminum molds or pre-hardened steel for the injection molding low volume manufacturing. Aluminum molds are ideal for creating custom plastic parts in smaller quantities. They can be manufactured quickly and are easy to modify.
  • MUD Insert or changeable inserts: Standard mold base, only need to manufacture the inserts to save time and money

Low Volume Injection Molding Cost

Short run injection molding cost = raw material cost + injection molding production cost + Set up cost
