Injection moulding is the most cost-effective way to make a plastic part at scale and offers consistent quality for low-to-high volume manufacturing. Xometry offers a vast number of rigid plastics and resins that meet required structural and cosmetic characteristics. Beyond materials, injection moulded parts can have custom finishing, polishes, or surface textures. Xometry offers both high-precision tool manufacturing and injection moulding services. Xometry Injection Moulding Capabilities Capabilities Injection Moulding, Insert Moulding, Overmoulding Lead Time Starts at 10 business days Tooling Rapid Tooling: recommended for 100-10,000 parts / Production Tooling: recommended for over 10,000 parts Machines Available Single, multi-cavity, and family moulds; 50 to 1,100+ press tonnage; side actions including hand-loaded cores Mould Cavity Tolerances ± 0.1 mm when machining the mold and an additional ± 0.05 mm when calculating for shrink rate Part to Part Repeatability ±0.1 mm or less Critical Feature Tolerances Tighter tolerances can be requested and may increase the cost of tooling because of additional sampling and grooming. Xometry will mill to a steel-safe condition on critical features. Available Mould Types Steel (tool steel, carbon steel) and aluminum; Production grades range from Class 105, a prototype mold, to Class 101, an extremely high production mould. Advantages of Injection Moulding with Xometry Rapid Turnaround We offer fast mould lead times: in as fast as 10 business days for rapid tooling and up to 20 days for production tooling. Serial Production Ideal for the production starting from 100 parts.
