Google "injection molding prototype" for more links like this:

3D printing maybe another option.

Before we moved here was in the business of making parts.

No idea how big your part is but be prepared for high tooling cost.

Discovered that when we went to China. $78000 in Arkansas, $21,000 in China! And the Arkansas molds are made in China! Does anyone make molds in the US?

Our little town that we left and moved here just so happens to have this type of business. Ask for Doug Baril.

Very few and when they do it will cost a large amount more.

You don't want an injection moulding specialist, you need a tool and die machinist.

Thoisands. We have the plans. We want two molds. One for the main part and one for the packaging. 3000 units 10 to a box fit in a 40ft container. We will order assembled by the container load.
