The primary consideration when dealing with plastic injection molding is the molds themselves, also known as 'tooling '. This is where the real work is done. Molds must be carefully designed, considering parameters such as how many cavities to include, geometry, injection speed, pressure, holding time, and more. The high upfront tooling cost is often prohibitive for low-volume runs, so this is not for when you only need a handful or 100 parts but more for reoccurring low volumes every year or maybe more than a couple of thousand.

However, depending on the specific application, this may not be an issue. High-quality parts that command higher prices can more than justify the increased cost of low-volume tooling. However, an experienced injection molding partner can optimize mold creation with simple geometry and rounded edges that minimize tooling requirements.

At its core, low volume injection molding is similar to traditional injection molding. It relies on the same basic principle of melting thermoplastic materials and injecting them into mold cavities under pressure. The plastic cools quickly, and molds can contain multiple cavities for multiple parts, which is why it's widely used in mass production. This precision and consistency are what make low volume injection molding a reliable choice for your manufacturing needs.

While most injection molded parts are produced in mass volumes, low volume injection molding demonstrates its adaptability by catering to applications that require smaller production runs. To satisfy these demands, organizations can confidently contact injection molding partners offering lower volume production runs.

Injection molding is among the most widespread manufacturing methods used today, with more than 30 percent of plastic parts produced using this technique. It is an exceptional method for producing plastic parts that are consistent and reliable for all production runs. Learn about low volume injection molding runs.
