What is the typical lead time for the fabrication of an injection mold?

The lead time can vary greatly and depends on the complexity of the mold and the shop workload. We have built a variety of tools with lead times ranging from few weeks to several months.

The manufacturing lead time is inclusive of the lead time for the materials and components necessary for the tool assembly. Molds which require custom components will have longer lead times.

Special surface finishes, textures, treatments, or coatings will add lead time.
A reliable estimate of lead time can be provided only upon evaluation of the part requirements.

If you've ever explored utilizing injection molding as your preferred manufacturing method, you probably learned two things:

1. The cost efficiency for larger runs is remarkable.
2. It can be hard to get the prototypes just right in a timely fashion.

One of the things Abtec specializes in is refining client prototype designs for injection mold manufacturing. It takes a critical balance of personal experience and a CAD software.

Abtec can conduct mold flow analysis for different parts, mold tools, and technical considerations like "gate" placement (the location where the molten plastic will be injected into the mold tool cavity).

There are a lot of things that can go wrong in the injection molding process. That's why it's so important to get the design, prototype, and injection mold tool exactly right.

Making an investment in quality work up front can save you big money when you get to volume production where a single mistake is very costly.

Abtec can assist with derailing your injection molding manufacturing. If you have more questions, my team and I are always happy to be a more in-depth resource.

The manufacturing process can be a complicated one. There are many factors to consider when choosing a plastic injection molding company that best suits your industry, products & production requirements. The best place to start is by gaining basic knowledge of the plastic molding process.

Explained in its simplest form, the process uses polymers or plastic resins that when heated, melted and injected under high pressure into a custom mold, will produce plastic parts to be utilized in product manufacturing. While that process seems straightforward, many manufacturers need an injection molder partner that can produce highly complex parts and caters to their unique industry needs, specifications, end-uses and time / budget constraints.

If you’re like most companies, you have unique & specific needs. It is crucial to the success of your part that you work with a molder that understands your expectations and challenges. Taking these considerations into account will help you streamline the process of choosing a plastic injection molding part manufacturer.
