You can create low-cost components rapidly without complex setup or large up-front costs. Typical mold cost range is $1500 and $3000.

Automated small-scale injection molding equipment such as the desktop machine Micromolder or the hydraulic machine Babyplast 10/12 are good alternatives for medium-series production of small parts. Large industrial injection molding machines can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000+.
