Machining vs. Molding

In many instances, injection molding isn't the best or only choice for fabricating plastic components.

Plastic machining has many advantages worth considering.

Greatest design change flexibility
Greatest cost efficiency for smaller quantities
No parting lines, ejector marks, or flash
No draft angles required
Closest tolerances possible
Lowest component stress
Fastest turnaround time
Low or no tooling cost
Ease of producing features such as threads and undercuts
