Prevent $50K+ Injection Molding Mistakes Before They Happen

Expert DFM reviews, mold design evaluation, and first article inspections. 35 years of experience helping companies launch injection molded products right the first time.

 Most injection molding failures happen because:

• Design issues aren’t caught before tooling commitments
• Mold vendors make critical mistakes in tool design
• First articles aren’t properly inspected
• Companies don’t have in-house injection molding expertise

One tooling mistake can cost $50,000+ and delay your launch by months.

The Solution: I provide expert oversight at the critical moments that matter:

Service 1: Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Review

• Review your product design before committing to tooling
• Identify manufacturability issues and cost-reduction opportunities
• Provide detailed recommendations for design optimization
• Investment: $1,500-3,000 per design

Service 2: Mold Design Review & Vendor Oversight

• Evaluate tooling vendor proposals and quotes
• Review mold designs for quality and manufacturability
• Manage communication with tooling vendors
• Ensure quality checkpoints are met
• Investment: $3,000-5,000 per tool

Service 3: Tooling Source Evaluation & Strategy

• Domestic tooling (US/Canada): Cost analysis, lead times, quality expectations, vendor selection
• Offshore tooling (China/Mexico/other): Tariff impacts, total landed cost, communication management, quality oversight
• Hybrid strategies: Prototype domestically, production offshore (or vice versa)
• Deliverable: Comprehensive sourcing recommendation with cost comparison, risk assessment, and vendor evaluation criteria.
• Investment: $2,500-4,000 depending on complexity
