@@stephanez8036 We don't deal with offshore forming. You could always try to make your own former and tools if you believe it saves on cost. There are a lot of tutorials out there about making one. I wish you luck
It depends on the products, if you look into www.tk560.com/stormtrooper.html It might give you a clearer idea of the costs/tooling at a smaller scale. Trimming the formed parts is almost as much work as pulling/blowing the part.

@@signdude thank you for your replies, i appreciate. building a 1/5th scale decent mold and forming it correctly is really not easy i think !
Depending on the size it's possible to just rotocast it with resin in a 3D printed mold.@@stephanez8036
What’s the thickness of the finished product?
It's a liner, so the final thickness varies between 1/8 inch to 1/64

If I made the mold can you guys make custom pieces for me ?
Yes. We do that with some of our bigger customers. Contact us at sales@plastec.ca
Hey bro, is it worth vacuum casting a plastic product? And how the cost. I’ve been looking at injecting moulding and the pricing is crazy
