 What information do I need to provide before getting a quote on tool making?

Clients need to provide the product’s 3D AutoCAD drawings (such as IGES, STEP, or X_T format etc.) which can be generated by us). We can also make a quote based on Sample parts and 2D drawings (in DWG, DXF, or even PDF format [but with weight information]). In addition, we need the production information listed in our quotation form such as estimated order quantity and plastic injection materials etc. Quotation is ready within 5 working days normally, and can be even faster per your request.
The above information is what we normally need to ask before providing quotes. In a word, the more detailed information of product and mold provided by clients, the more exact price Fasia quotes. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have further questions about what we may need in order to best serve you.

What's the information needed for plastic injection molding quotation?

The information needed are as follows:

    a. Mold information such as mold type, size, no. of mold cavity and clamping force.
  1. b. Product specification such as materials, color, weight per parts, quantity, post-production & packing requirement

In a word, the more detailed information provided by clients, the more exact price Fasia quotes.

Does Fasia provide mold manufacturing & plastic injection molding for the customer?

Yes, we can do both molding making and plastic injection molding within our factory. Also, client can choose one of our production service (molding making or injection molding or even post-production service) which depends on client’s need.

We are new to plastic mold production and injection molding, where should we start?

Which system does Fasia use, Metric or Imperial system?

Where does your mold base come from?

The mold base used in Fasia is purchased from LKM, Ming-Lee, DME, HASCO etc.

What's the mold life produced by Fasia?

What is the lead time for an injection mold?

It normally takes 6 to 8 weeks to make plastic injection molds but it depends on the complexity of mold construction. The whole adjustment process of the mold normally takes about 2 weeks. For example, once the mold are ready, they will be tested, known as T1 sampling which will be sent to the client. Once getting client’s feedback, normally some small adjustments will be made to the tool, and revised samples are sent to the client. If the sample is approved by the client, the tool is approved and ready for injection molding.

How can I know the process of mold building?

Once the tool design is approved by customers, the tool building process will begin. At this time, we will send an estimated schedule of mold building to you. Also, we will give you weekly status reports with digital pictures and actual processes therefore you can know the stage of mold building clearly. To avoid misunderstandings during the whole production process, unlike many factories, we are proactive in contacting and visiting clients.

We can also make mold with multiple cavity, so that production goes faster, and unit cost becomes lower.

What is the minimum order size / value of plastic parts you accept?

Usually, our clients order a minimum of 2,000 USD / SKU per order. The minimum quantity depends on the unit cost of the parts. When the delivery amount is less than 2000USD, there will be an additional handling fee. However, if the tools are big, we accept small batch size as a service.
