Why do you think it costs alot of money to make a pressing die? No I said the die , not the press , as you would have the pressings done by contractors with the required machines to stamp out what you want. as for the die $3 to 5 k tops as a guess going of complex and detailed injection moulding dies Rob Not sure about these but those complex injection moulding dies are usually $50,000-$100,000+++ (size and complexity dependant of course...) My neighbour owns an Injection moulding company... Chris My mates have a few small 300ton injection moulders , and some baby 75 tonners
