The Core Characteristics of Small Batch Injection Molding

Small batch injection molding is a production process for small-scale plastic parts during the new product development stage. Its core characteristics are as follows:

1. Core Positioning: Targeting small-batch needs of 1-500 sets, it utilizes rapid prototyping to complete production. Unlike traditional mass production injection molding, it emphasizes product verification before proceeding to mass production.

2. Applicable Scenarios: Suitable for scenarios such as new product appearance/structure verification, exhibition samples, customer sample inspection, and small-scale market testing. It can expose issues such as shrinkage and assembly gaps early, reducing the trial-and-error costs of directly developing mass production molds.

3. Process Flow: The conventional process is structural review and optimization → prototype verification → rapid prototyping → small batch injection molding production → surface treatment → finished product assembly. One-stop collaboration reduces the risk of rework due to communication with multiple suppliers.

4. Unsuitable Scenarios: Projects that prioritize low-price mass production of mature products or only compare unit prices without discussing structural optimization. In these scenarios, the cost advantages of small-batch injection molding cannot be realized.
