What is short run production of injection moulding by Injection Mould Manufacturers?
Standard production runs for injection molding typically run from hundreds of thousands to millions of parts, so the time and cost of mold creation is minimal compared to the value they provide. Short runs are often 10,000 or less, or even hundreds. The cost of these small batches can often be reduced by using less expensive tooling materials, such as aluminum or lower grade steel. These molds produce products of the same quality but can be used in smaller quantities.
The benefits of small batch production
Shorter production runs offer many benefits compared to longer batches, including:
shorter delivery time
Support small budget projects and open up the injection molding process to a wider range of customers
Adjustments and modifications can be made without the financial commitment of a large production run
Make usable prototypes that may require less finishing than 3D printed parts
