When product teams need large numbers of plastic parts produced cost-effectively, they will likely consider whether injection molding is a viable option. Injection mold tooling requires a significant initial investment, but the durability and lifespan of the molds can dramatically lower the per-unit cost of production.
While injection molding is among the most popular and reliable methods for manufacturing plastic parts, it may not be the ideal process for certain jobs. Thankfully, plastic components can be manufactured via a number of methods, including CNC machining, a process offering a suite of unique advantages.
