We have an online cost
estimator to provide you estimation on both the
mold and part cost. Generally speaking, our cost
is about 40% to 60% less than US cost.
Are
there limitations to ICO Mold’s Rapid Injection
Molding processes ?
Generally
speaking, No. We use steel molds for our Rapid
Injection Molding service which enables us to
easily produce complex parts up to 40” long.
The number of slides and inserts is only limited
by the space available. Sharp inside corners,
intricate features and undercuts are no problem
for ICO Molds.

if any aspect of the model is not suitable for
injection molding. See our Design Assistance
page if you need help making the necessary
changes.
Yes. Because
ICO Mold uses steel molds. We can easily modify
it by additional machining, fill-in welding,
welding in additional material, or inserting a
replacement feature – all at a very reasonable
cost. The only limitation is when the magnitude
of your changes is so great that producing a new
mold is more cost-effective than reworking the
existing one.
For quotation,
