Pricing

What does a US-molded part like yours usually cost?

Injection molding pricing has two pieces — the one-time tool, and the per-part piece price. The calculator is an indicative US-shop range. A real quote comes from the shop after they see the part.

Direct answer

Typical tooling is $15k–$80k for 1–8 cavity P20. Large, complex, or 8–16 cavity tools run $80k–$200k+. Piece price is $0.20–$1.50 for most mid-volume commodity parts; about $0.15 only on small, simple, high-cavity work; $2–$6+ on large, engineering-grade, or 1-cavity parts. Aluminum tools are a short-run path (2–3 weeks typical). P20 steel is 4–6 weeks, then about 1–2 weeks to first production.
