Why Are Plastic Injection Molds So Expensive? Injection molds are costly due to high-grade materials, complex designs, precision machining, and skilled labor. Hardened steel ensures durability but raises costs. Multi-cavity molds, tight tolerances, and industry-specific requirements add complexity. High initial investment lowers per-unit cost in mass production. Rapid tooling offers a cheaper option for small runs. Offshore mold makers may reduce costs but pose quality risks. Investing in quality molds ensures efficiency and scalability. Contact us for a quote.
