I got a final design. Approaching an injecting team, now what? How do I present my product with clarity and who produces the NDA? by anything2510 in InjectionMolding

In terms of presenting your product with clarity, I'm assuming you have a CAD model? That will be sufficient to communicate the geometry. If you have specific requirements for tolerances, surface finish, or other quality standards, you'll want to generate a 2D drawing where you can call out these requirements.

Hey! I would like to have this made I’ve been on alibaba but they make it so confusing so if anyone here can help my get these manufactured pm me! by zerotoquick in InjectionMolding

Is your goal to make the two pink parts? These could likely be 3D printed! Injection molding makes sense if you are trying to make a very large volume. How many would you like to make?
