The True Cost of Molds
Mold cost is the biggest surprise for first-time creators. Key factors: cavity count, part complexity, steel quality, surface finish. Typical investment for a 6-8 inch figure: $3,000-8,000 per set. DFM review can reduce costs by 15-25%.
PVC Quality Markers
Key quality indicators: joint consistency, parting line control, color matching, flash control. We perform 500-cycle articulation tests, AQL 2.5 inspection, drop tests, and color consistency checks across every batch.
Common Design Mistakes
1. Wall thickness variation (target 1.5-2.5mm). 2. Sharp internal corners (add radius). 3. Insufficient draft angles (min 1-3 degrees). 4. Over-engineering joints (focus on 20-25 points).
