Injection moulding is regarded as the standard form of manufacturing technology for many plastic components.

At GoProto, we use injection moulding technology for creating pre-production, short-run production and mass-production parts in a huge range of plastic and elastomeric materials.

Tooling for injection moulding can be expensive, depending upon the complexity of the mould. A mould can cost from $4,000 to $100,000 plus depending on the size and complexity of the part. However, after the initial tooling investment, the parts are low cost, highly repeatable, and with good tolerances.

To achieve the full benefits of this manufacturing process; certain design guidelines should be followed.

At GoProto, we work closely with you during the tooling design process to understand your needs and production quantities. This determines the most viable process for you, such as a low volume mould or a custom mould base for complex parts or parts where the overall volume will be high.
