Any medium size city has a plastics house near it. Universal Plastics in Holyoke, MA does thermoforming which is cheaper in tooling than injection molding but limited to certain styles - and higher in unit cost. Almost all of the plastic cases you see are injection molded where the tooling starts at around $10k and goes astronomically upward from there. This is why you see most people struggling to find an off-the-shelf case that will work for their application. Even spending $10 to have a case machined is going to be a better deal (up to a point...) than paying a mech. e. to design your case and then spend $25k for the injection tooling. I know a guy in upstate NY who owns an injection molding place if you're interested. - Martin K On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 7:18 PM, Funny NYPD wrote: > Good job.
