Start Injection Molding
.
With your design optimized and ready for injection molding, you can begin testing your prototype. In this section, we will walk you through the steps needed to begin manufacturing with injection molding.
.
Step 1: Start small & prototype fast
.
Before committing to any high-cost injection molding tooling, it is recommended that you first create your design and test your prototype’s functionality. This will keep your cost down as it allows you to identify any design errors and fix them to ensure the launching of your product is successful.
.
There are three different solutions for prototyping:
- CNC machining in plastic
- 3D printing (with SLA, SLS, or Material Jetting)
- Low-run injection molding with 3D printed molds
.
These three processes typically help to create a realistic prototype for form and function that looks a lot like the final Injection molding product. Decide which of these […]
