The cost of the mold varies significantly depending on the chosen technology and project requirements. Typically, it is:
Injection molding – the cost of the mold typically ranges from several thousand to several tens of thousands of PLN. Sometimes, for complex molds with multiple cavities, it can be over a hundred thousand PLN. In some cases, instead of the entire mold, we can produce interchangeable inserts, and their cost ranges from several thousand to several tens of thousands of PLN.
Rotational molding – the cost of steel molds ranges from several thousand to several tens of thousands of PLN. The cost of aluminum molds is 30%-50% higher.
Thermoforming – the costs of wooden molds start from a few hundred zlotys. For steel molds, it is typically around a few thousand PLN. In the case of mass production of a large number of thin elements, molds can cost tens of thousands of PLN.
Extrusion – the cost of the mold typically ranges from several thousand to several tens of thousands of PLN. For significant production quantities, there is an option to amortize the mold cost within the price of the part.
