      Injection Molding                                            Thermoforming                                                 Foam/Cast Urethane



      Higher level of detail possible when                         Shorter tooling lead time than                                Inexpensive and quick tooling
      compared to other processes                                  injection



      Preferred for automation due to                              Can be used for automation but                                Suited for low volume applications
      greater tolerance control                                    limited


      Wider range of material selection                            Ability to have a production                                  Availability of different material

                                                                   tooling

      Production runs are generally more                           Tooling is less expensive than                                Cast solid elastomer material is

      efficient when compared to other                             injection especially when looking at                          extremely durable
