Answer: Question 2
i. Volume:
- With over 16,000 injection molders, selecting the best molder for your part can seem
overwhelming. The best place to start is by narrowing down your options based on your
volume and size requirements. Low to moderate volume molders specialize in the
production of parts under 10,000 units. Selecting a low to moderate volume molder
may be an ideal choice if you need to quickly produce a prototype to test a part. In
addition, low to moderate volume molders are perfect for applications that dont require
hundreds of thousands of parts (such as medical devices, aerospace, agriculture and
more), or bridge tooling (tooling that bridges the gap between small production runs
for market testing and full-production tooling). High volume molders specialize in jobs
requiring over 750,000 parts and typically produce parts requiring small-sized molds.
