According to a blog post by Rex Plastics, “A small and simple single cavity plastic injection mold usually costs between $1,000 and $5,000. Very large or complex molds may cost as much as $80,000 or more. On average, a typical mold that produces a relatively simple part small enough to hold in your hand costs around $12,000.” For cost reasons alone injection mold maintenance should figure high on a list of priorities for companies involved in producing injection-molded parts.  This post describes how the power of ultrasonic cleaning preserves investments in costly injection molds without ..read more
