Common questions about Plastic Injection Moulding
For production parts you usually pay for and own the tool, even if it lives at the moulder. Make this explicit in your contract.
Typically a few thousand parts and up. Below that, 3D printing, machining or vacuum forming is often cheaper because tooling cost dominates.
Most specialise in one or the other. For mixed assemblies, post a single project and let suppliers tell you what they can cover.
