Plastic Enclosure Assembly VS Injection Molding

Enclosure Hole Pattern Small

The  2 pricing comparisons below will show you how the "Toolless" technology compares favorably with Injection molding technology.

 

Large part 14”w x 4” tall x 12” deep

 

  Toolless Charges       Injection molding (estimates)
 
  • NRE $5000 (2 iterations of design & proto)
  • Part price $127 each in 100 pc lots
  

VS.
 
  • NRE $150,000 (2 iterations of design & proto $20,000; Top mold $70,000; bottom mold $60,000)
  • Part price (set) $7.00 each (minimum of 500 pc lots)

 

Break Even Quantity
(150,000-5,000) / (127-7) = 1208 units

 

 

Small part 4”w x 1.5” tall x 6” deep

 

  Toolless Charges       Injection molding (estimates)
 
  • NRE $1200 (2 iterations of design & proto)
  • Part price $12 each in 200 pc lots
  

VS.
 
  • NRE $26,000 (design & proto $8,000; top mold $10,000; bottom mold $8,000)
  • Part price (set) $2.00 each (minimum of 500 pc lots)
