How do you know whether it makes sense to opt for plastic injection moulding?
In a word: Quantity
Injection moulding is the preferred process when you need thousands or millions of the same part or product. Not for just a few single units. The process involves heating up the raw plastic materials (usually small beads or pellets) to a liquid or near-liquid state, and then squirting it under pressure into a cavity or mould.

The process
You may need some specialist advice in bringing your platicware to the market. We can help you with all the various stages of this process. Keep in mind that the initial set up costs might be high, therefor this might not be the desired process if you only want to manufacture a small amount of items. The moulds are built by specialists and therefor should last for runs of up to a several hundred thousand items before needing refurbishment.
