Plastic Injection Molding Process

Plastic injection molding is a highly efficient and cost-effective manufacturing method used to produce plastic parts in both low and high volumes.

The process begins by heating plastic pellets until they melt, then injecting the molten plastic into a precision-engineered mold cavity. Once the plastic cools and solidifies, the part is ejected, and the cycle repeats—often hundreds or thousands of times—making it ideal for mass production. Since the same mold is reused throughout the production run, the initial mold cost is spread across all parts, significantly reducing the cost per unit to just a few dollars—or even less for high-volume orders. Injection molding delivers parts with excellent dimensional accuracy and consistent quality from the first piece to the last. Compared to CNC machining or 3D printing, injection molding offers a wider variety of materials, color options, surface finishes, and cosmetic details, giving manufacturers greater flexibility in both function and appearance.

TEAM Rapid is a plastic injection molding company that provides on-demand prototypes, low-volume molding, and extensive volume production molding. We mold the plastic parts you need without design compromises at the correct price point. Our professional engineering team offers consultation on every injection molding quote and will efficiently move your projects from design to production.

Post-Finish Services for Injection Molded Parts

At TEAM RAPID, we don’t just produce high-quality injection molded parts — we also provide a full range of post-finishing and surface treatment services to make your parts production-ready. Whether you need a glossy cosmetic surface, matte industrial finish, or custom color coating, our finishing solutions ensure your parts look professional and perform perfectly.

Why Post-Finishing Matters

Post-finishing plays a key role in the appearance, durability, and function of injection molded parts. After molding, surfaces may show tool marks, weld lines, or uneven gloss levels. Applying the right surface finish improves aesthetics, enhances wear resistance, and ensures better adhesion for paints, coatings, or labels. Choosing the right finish can also improve grip, texture, or branding value — helping your products stand out in the market.

Available Post Surface Finishes & Treatments at TEAM RAPID

TEAM RAPID offers a wide variety of injection molding surface finishes to meet your design, function, and cost requirements:

Customized Injection Molding Cost - Overview

When it comes to custom injection molding, there is no universal price. Every project is unique, and the final cost depends on your specific part design, production volume, and quality requirements. At TEAM RAPID, we provide transparent pricing based on your needs — helping you balance cost, speed, and performance.

The total cost of custom injection molding can be divided into two main parts:

- The injection molding production cost(material, labor, machine time, finishing, etc.)

- The mold or tooling cost, which covers design and fabrication of the injection mold itself.

1. Injection Molding Production Cost

The cost of the full injection molding operation depends on the services you choose — from prototyping to mass production. This includes raw materials, molding cycles, post-processing, and inspection. At the end of production, you’ll receive high-quality molded parts that meet your exact specifications. Any optional after-sales services, such as product modifications, part redesign, or repeat production runs, may involve additional charges.

Key factors that affect production cost:

- Type and volume of materials used

- Cycle time and part complexity

- Number of cavities per mold

- Finishing and secondary processes (e.g., polishing, texturing, or painting)

2. Injection Mold Cost / Rapid Tooling Cost

The injection mold(or tooling) represents the initial investment in your production. This cost is typically separated from the part production cost and is payable after you approve the final mold design.

The mold cost varies depending on:

- The complexity of your part geometry

- The type of steel or aluminum used for the mold

- The expected production volume (prototype vs. high-volume)

Whether you choose rapid tooling or conventional mold manufacturing

Rapid tooling provides a faster, lower-cost solution for small runs or prototype validation, while traditional tooling offers maximum durability for long-term production.

3. Factors Affecting Custom Injection Molding Cost

Several important aspects influence the overall cost of your project:

DIY Injection Molding vs. Outsourcing Services

When it comes to producing plastic parts, you have two main options:DIY injection molding or partnering with a professional injection molding service provider. Each approach has its advantages and limitations. Understanding the differences can help you make the best choice for your product development or production needs.

DIY Injection Molding

DIY injection molding allows individuals or small teams to produce parts in-house using small bench top machines or simple molding tools.

Advantages:

- Lower initial investment– Small machines and molds are relatively inexpensive.

- Hands-on learning– Ideal for prototyping or experimentation.

- Quick iteration– You can test designs immediately without waiting for a manufacturer.

Limitations:

- Part size and complexity– DIY machines are usually limited to small, simple parts.

- Material options– Limited to a few types of thermoplastics; specialized materials may not be available.

- Quality and consistency– Dimensional tolerances, surface finishes, and repeatability are hard to control.

- Time-consuming– Setting up molds, heating, and troubleshooting can slow down production.

DIY injection molding is best for hobbyists, small-scale prototypes, or educational purposes.

Outsourcing to Injection Molding Services

Outsourcing your injection molding needs to a professional provider, like TEAM RAPID, gives you access to industrial-grade equipment, expert engineering, and high-quality materials.

Advantages:

- High precision and consistency– Parts are manufactured to tight tolerances with professional inspection.

- Wide material selection– Hard plastics (ABS, PC, POM) and soft materials (TPE, TPU) with specialty properties.

- Scalability– Suitable for both low-volume prototypes and high-volume production runs.

- Advanced finishing options– Polishing, texturing, painting, pad printing, and assembly are all possible.

- Engineering support– Experts assist with DFM (Design for Manufacturability), mold design, and process optimization.

Limitations:

- Higher initial cost– Requires mold tooling investment, although cost is amortized over production volume.

- Lead time– Custom molds and production schedules may take days or weeks, depending on complexity.

Outsourcing is ideal for companies seeking professional quality, scalability, and reliability.

Which Option Is Right for You?

- Choose DIY injection molding if you are experimenting with designs, making small prototypes, or learning about the process.

- Choose outsourcing with a professional manufacturer like TEAM RAPID if you need high-quality, scalable, and reliable injection molded parts for business, industrial, or commercial applications.

At TEAM Rapid, we combine rapid tooling, professional engineering, and flexible production options to deliver injection molded parts that meet your exact specifications.
