Quoting

Get a quote for tooling and first batch production with shipping estimates in 24 to 48 hours.

DfM

Receive DfM documentation 24 to 72 hours after ordering tooling samples. Tooling begins when you sign off on the DfM report.

Toolmaking

You get 4 free samples per part for your approval. Hubs keeps a “golden sample” part for additional quality inspection.

Production

Your parts go into production after samples are approved.

Hubs quality control

We use the golden sample to verify future orders and provide additional QC checks.

Delivery

Our custom injection molding services

We offer a wide range of part complexities and sizes, from 10 mm (0,39 in) to 1.5 meters (59 in) (think computer keys to car bumpers). From rapid prototypes to production parts, our experienced project engineers are here to assist you with your order from start to finish.

FAQ’s

How much does plastic injection molding cost?

There are many factors that determine the cost of injection molding your custom parts. The three main expenses are tooling, materials and production. Find out how to reduce your manufacturing costs in our injection molding guide .

Who owns the injection mold?

Customers retain ownership of all custom tooling they develop, however, any reusable proprietary components developed by the manufacturing partner (MP) will become the MP’s property. All custom tooling will remain at the MP’s facility for a minimum of two years unless otherwise agreed. If the tooling is inactive after two years, the MP may contact Hubs to determine if the tool must be retained for additional time. Hubs will then contact the customer to make further arrangements. Molds can be transferred to any desired location upon request and at the requester's expense.

What happens if an injection molding partner leaves the Hubs network?

Whenever a manufacturing partner leaves the Hubs network, we carry the cost of transferring all molds to another MP in the network, ensuring that your parts get delivered on time.

What is the available capacity/timeline for reorders?

In general, we have the RFQ ready within 24 hours. It takes two days to set up the mold and order and process the materials, and one day for packing and sending the order out to be shipped. The volume of your parts will determine the number of days required for manufacturing.
