The cost of an injection mold typically ranges from $2,000 to $50,000+, depending on the mold size, complexity, cavity count, steel material, and production requirements.

Prototype mold ($2,000–5,000): For design testing and low-volume production.
Production mold ($5,000–20,000): Suitable for regular production projects with standard mold structures.
Multi-cavity or complex mold ($20,000–50,000+): For high-volume production and complex parts requiring advanced mold designs.

The final cost depends on your part design, material selection, surface finish, tolerance requirements, and expected production volume.

The cost of injection molded parts is typically around $0.1–$5+ per part, depending on the part size, material, design complexity, production volume, and additional processes.

Small plastic parts: $0.1–$1 / part
Suitable for small components with simple structures and high-volume production, such as clips, covers, and small electronic parts.
Medium-sized parts: $1–$ 3 / part
Common for housings, industrial components, and consumer products with moderate size and complexity.
Large or complex parts: $3–$5+ / part
Suitable for large housings, automotive components, or parts requiring special materials, complex structures, or tighter tolerances.

The unit cost is also affected by factors such as material selection, cycle time, mold design, and production quantity. Higher production volumes usually reduce the cost per part because the initial mold investment is spread over more units.
