  • How long does a plastic injection mould take to manufacture?
    Four Star Engineering endeavours to be as efficient as possible to help bring your product designs to production readiness in as little time as possible. Plastic injection moulds can be very simple, or highly complex. Depending upon the complexity of your product design, the manufacturing process could take as little as a few weeks, or as long as a few months.
  • What finish can a plastic injection mould produce?
    Four Star Engineering can apply a variety of surface finishes to your plastic injection moulds, depending upon material selection, from highly polished gloss finishes all the way through to leather and wood grain textures.
  • What is a prototype plastic injection mould?
    Four Star Engineering can manufacture prototype injection moulds for you to test and evaluate your product designs before committing to production moulding tools. Prototype injection moulds are designed to be as inexpensive as possible, often made from low cost aluminium and requiring manual operation to complete the moulding process rather than more expensive fully automated injection moulds.
  • How much does it cost to have a plastic injection mould manufactured?
    Four Star Engineering endeavours to be as efficient as possible to help bring your product designs to production efficiently as possible. As mentioned above, plastic injection moulds can be very simple, or highly complex. Depending upon the complexity of your product design, the cost could be as little as a few hundred dollars, ranging to many thousands of dollars. Four Star Engineering is happy to provide a quotation based upon your injection moulding tool requirements.
  • How long does a plastic injection mould last?
    Four Star Engineering can manufacture your injection moulding tool to suit your product life cycle needs, ranging from short run parts of a few hundred parts to high volumes of many millions of parts over many years.
  • What material are plastic injection moulds made from?
    Four Star Engineering can manufacture your injection moulding tool from a range of materials to suit your product life cycle needs. Short run parts can have injection moulding tools made from Aluminium, medium volume parts from various grades of moulding steel and high volume parts from high end hardened tool steels for durability and long lifespan.
