Ways of getting tooling quote right

Engineers can design single or multi-cavity molds, taking into account the advantages and disadvantages. Fewer cavities result in higher part costs, but the total cost is lower and maintenance is easier. Multiple cavities create more expense, but can also speed up production

Consider how long you will run, Take other factors into account, including part tolerances. Above all, make sure the mold maker is on the same page with you, as tooling materials will ultimately affect costs.

If in doubt, please state why the moulder chose the gate/ runner system on which the tooling quote is based. It's complex and impacts everything from speed to market to product quality.
