Why Are Injection Molded Parts Expansive?

Injection molding is an economical and very efficient method of producing injection molded parts. It can produce millions of parts with exactly the same shape, dimension, and quality. Some examples of injection molded parts are the mobile phones, mouse, keyboard, and many components found inside the automobile.

Injection molded parts are made up of special, high quality steels that have a good machinability property. Some standard mold components such as springs, bolts, and limit switch are prefabricated and costs lower.

Most standard components such as ejector pins, ejector sleeves, sprue bushings, and leader components are not prefabricated which mean they will only be manufactured when you order them. They are not mass produced thus they are expensive. The cavity and core are mold components which make the mold really expensive. It involves careful design engineering and processing. Most of the tools used in making these components are very expensive.
