Whether you’re an established business looking to start manufacturing with plastic injection molding or a newcomer to the medical devices industry, it’s important to know how (and when) to start the process of talking to a mold maker and plastic injection molding manufacturer. Unsurprisingly, medical devices are held to a higher standard of quality and manufacturing than most plastic injection parts, so working with someone skilled in that market who understands the standards is vital.

Many believe prototyping is just an extra, unnecessary step in the injection molding process, which is a misconception that can result in severe production line disruptions and forfeiture of time and money. In fact, some believe it increases costs and inhibits development and production times, but in reality, it does the opposite. Proceeding with a custom injection molding without prototyping often results in a series of tool adjustments that can become both time-consuming and expensive. Let’s review precisely how prototype tooling in injection molding accelerates production and saves you time and money.

In a fast-paced market, it’s critical to get customer parts and products into the market quickly while still achieving the specified tolerance, finish, and function. In our previous blog, Low and High-Volume Production: Injection Molding, we briefly discussed the advantages of both low-volume and high-volume manufacturing. In this blog, we will be taking a closer look at the benefits of low-volume manufacturing and how this form of production yields quick turnaround on a budget.

Low and High-Volume Production: Injection Molding
With over thousands of plastic injection molding and plastic manufacturing facilities in the U.S. to choose from, what are one of the top qualities that make a molding company stand out? When choosing a provider, many factors should be taken into consideration; including capabilities, quality assurance, company reputation, cost, and delivery time. Finding the right plastic injection molder to fit your needs may seem time-consuming but determining your low and high-volume requirements first and how they may shift over time, will help to narrow down your options.
