Polyimide Molded Component

I need thousands of polymer parts. Who moulds this material, and what is the tooling cost?

What it is

Polymer part produced directly to shape by injection or compression moulding. Economic only at volume because of tooling cost, but far cheaper per part than machining from stock once the tool exists.

Typical dimensions
Limited by press tonnage and shot size.
Also known as
moulded part, injection moulded component, insert moulded part

Suppliers

Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.
