Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) On Time and On Budget

At DTG Injection Molding, we aim to provide clear and concise information to help you understand our
services and processes. Below are some frequently asked questions and their answers to assist you.

You can ship a sample for us to scan to build 3d model, then we can offer detailed quote.

3D drawing in STEP format, 2D drawing shows tolerance requests, quantity, surface treatment, etc. More detailed info. we know, more accurate price we can offer.

We can offer you within 1 hours if project not very complex.

For prototype usually 4-6 days; Mold without heat treatment can be 25-28 days; Mold need heat treatment a little longer, usually can be done within 35 days.

Fixing mold for minor adjustment usually not need extra cost, it’s our duty to provide qualified Pre- Production sample for customer to confirm.

Yes, we offer design assistance to help optimize your product for injection molding. Our experienced engineers can provide valuable insights and recommendations to improve the manufacturability and performance of your design.

Yes, we welcome clients to visit our factory. Please contact us to schedule a visit. We will provide a guided tour of our facilities, introduce you to our team, and discuss your project in detail.

Quality is our top priority. We implement rigorous quality control processes at every stage of production, including material inspection, mold testing, and final product inspection. Our facility is equipped with advanced testing equipment to ensure all products meet the highest standards.

We work with a variety of materials including ABS, polycarbonate, polypropylene, nylon, and other engineering-grade resins. If you have specific material requirements, please let us know, and we will accommodate your needs. View more materials>>

We serve a wide range of industries including automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, home appliances, and more. Our expertise allows us to handle diverse projects with precision and efficiency.

We typically require 3D files (STEP/STP/IGS) and part drawings, plus estimated order quantity, material requirements, and surface finish details. If you don’t have engineering files, we can support design assistance.

We can mold ABS, PC, PP, PA66, TPU, POM, PMMA, HDPE, LDPE, TPE, and reinforced materials like GF/CF plastics. We also help customers choose the most cost-effective resin based on application, durability, and cosmetics.

Yes. We provide aluminum prototype molds and bridge tooling options for rapid validation before mass production. Ideal for small batches, design changes, and market testing.

Standard tolerances follow ISO 2768-F and SPI standards. Tight tolerance parts (±0.02 mm) can be supported depending on geometry and resin properties.

Typical mold lead time:
・Simple molds: 2–3 weeks
・Medium complexity: 4–6 weeks
・High-precision multi-cavity molds: 6–8 weeks+
Rush programs are available upon request.

Yes. Mold flow analysis is available to ensure proper flow, cooling, and part quality before machining the mold.

Absolutely. DFM is provided to optimize part geometry, gate location, wall thickness, draft angles, and mold structure — improving manufacturability and reducing defects.

We manufacture single-cavity, multi-cavity, hot runner, cold runner, family molds, insert molds, over-molding tools, and high-volume production molds.

Yes. We store customer molds free of charge and offer flexible reorder quantities for ongoing production needs.

We follow ISO-controlled processes including in-process inspection, CMM measurement, first-article inspection (FAI), and full PPAP on request.

Customers own the mold after full payment unless otherwise agreed. We provide secure mold storage and maintenance services.

50% mold deposit, balance after sample approval. For part production, terms depend on volume and relationship. Flexible options available for long-term partners.

We provide a full range of engineering and commodity plastics: ABS, PC, PP, PA6/PA66, POM, PMMA, PE, PS, PBT, TPE/TPU, and reinforced compounds (GF/CF). Material selection is based on strength, durability, temperature resistance, and surface needs.
