Questions
Tool and die FAQ
Do the posted timelines cover a complete injection mould?
No. Anchor Danly, which has a Montreal plant, estimates under 1 week for basic die plates and sets. It lists 2 to 4 weeks for complex ones. Confirm the plant and schedule; these are company estimates, not complete mould timelines.
What should I ask before paying for tooling?
Ask who owns the tool, what trials are included and how later changes are priced. Request those terms in writing.
