For quantities of over 1000 pieces, there is an alternative technology for production called 'Casting under pressure' or 'Injection Molding’. The process starts with the preparation of high-quality steel molds. They are fitted to injection molding machines where details are cast with super high technical precision and smooth surfaces. There is a wide choice of materials that meets pretty much every functionality requirement or expectation.
Not without relevance are the expenses for this kind of service. They are key in the calculation of the product's end price, as well as for the profits. The creation time of the products is crucial to their end release on the market – a critical factor in most cases.
Due to high expenses for those kinds of services in Europe and even Bulgaria, and low capacities of production companies, more and more product companies are turning to Asian manufacturers. However, this approach comes with a big amount of risks. Some of them are the distance which leads to a lack of good quality control and uncertainty in negotiated times and quality. Communication with production companies from China can also be a problem, because of linguistic and cultural barriers.
