BOM

In the future we would recommend co-mold injection molding this part.

​

Advantages would include:

• Faster cycle times (7.5 hrs - 5 min)
• Increased automation
• Lower cost of material ($1.25 of shot)
• Increased strength to cross section
• Variety of colors
• Less post processing work
• Can be made as one piece

​

Est cost for injection molding:

<$17.42
