Historical Cost Evidence

Real Injection Mold Cost Examples

See what five completed tools cost and which mold structures drove the investment. Download the product and mold STEP files to inspect the geometry behind each example.

Historical reference, not a fixed offer. Current prices depend on part geometry, mold steel, cavity count, surface requirements, tool-life target, hot-runner system and production volume.

Compare the Tooling Investment

The original records document price, cavity count, structure and CAD. Fields that were not captured in the historical record are marked clearly rather than estimated.
