Now all i want to find is how many parts considered as mass produstion!Mass production may be 10+ of the steel moulds? $$

+x scottracing - 4/2/2019 2:53:41 PMdepends on what process you are using?? Prepreg / Infusion / Wet lay and what cure cycles you are using as temperature governs a lot of what the tool will be made from.And also its geometry dependent as the mould will wear with use.
