Minimize Delays and Extra Costs with Smarter Plastic Part Design and Mold Planning

Tooling revisions are one of the most common—and costly—issues in plastic injection molding projects. Many teams push into mold fabrication too early, only to find themselves making expensive changes that delay production and drive up costs.

This free eBook will show you how to avoid that trap.

Packed with real-world case studies, expert insights, and actionable best practices, it’s a must-read for product developers, mechanical engineers, and procurement teams working with plastic parts and injection molds.

What’s Inside

  • What Tooling Revisions Are—And Why They Happen
    Learn what kinds of changes typically require mold rework, and how they can impact your project timelines and budget.

  • 3 Real Case Studies
    See how revisions affected actual products—from consumer goods to technical devices—costing up to $4,500 or even requiring full mold replacements.

  • Best Practices to Reduce Risk
    Discover proven methods to minimize the likelihood of revisions, such as FIT (Fast Iterative Tooling), DFM reviews, smart part design, and prototype validation.

  • Key Design and Manufacturing Tips
    Understand the importance of “metal safe” part files, choosing the right mold materials, and working with capable suppliers.
