Injection Molding Parts Cost Estimator

For an average injection molded part, the resin comprises 75% of the total cost. It's for this reason that resin price hikes immediately get everybody’s attention. As a molder, you understand that if you can improve your resin price position, even by a small margin, it can dramatically reduce the cost of the overall part.

It’s easy to verify this by running a simple example:

Use CostMate™, an injection molding parts cost estimator and vary the resin price by a few pennies. It can change the job cost by thousands of dollars.
