Injection moulding remains the backbone of modern plastic manufacturing, powering everything from consumer products to medical devices. Yet quoting for injection moulding has hardly evolved-until now. Traditional RFQs are slow, inconsistent, and filled with uncertainty. Engineers wait days for pricing. Procurement teams chase suppliers. Designers get vague "ballpark" quotes that hide crucial cost and manufacturability information.

Sourcima changes all of this.

Our platform brings clarity, transparency, and real manufacturing data to the injection moulding quoting process-empowering both buyers and suppliers to work with complete confidence.


What Makes Sourcima Different from Other Online Injection Moulding Quoting Tools

1. Transparent Pricing That Shows the True Cost of Manufacturing

Most online quoting platforms give you a single number and expect you to trust it.
Sourcima doesn't hide the details. Our quoting process is built on real supplier data, transparent cost structures, and clear breakdowns that show exactly what you're paying for.

Tooling, cycle time, material choice, finishing-everything is visible.

This transparency empowers buyers to make informed decisions and helps suppliers stand out through their strengths, not guesswork.

2. Real Manufacturability Insights, Not Idealised Perfection

Other platforms often assume "perfect manufacturing conditions." Real workshops don't operate like that.


Sourcima integrates practical, workshop-level DFM, showing realistic considerations:

  • Draft angles that suppliers can actually achieve

  • Undercuts that require additional tooling or slides

  • Surface finish impacts on tooling cost

  • Practical limitations based on machine size and mould configuration

We show manufacturing as it really is, not as an algorithm thinks it should be.

3. Supplier-Powered Quotes, Not One-Size-Fits-All Algorithms

Algorithms can generate estimates, but only suppliers know their capacity, capabilities, and costs. Sourcima lets vetted suppliers quote directly through the platform, while still delivering fast, standardised, comparable results.

You don't get a generic price.
You get authentic market value pricing backed by real manufacturers.

4. Side-By-Side Comparison Without the Noise

Instead of scrolling through emails and spreadsheets, Sourcima provides a clean, structured comparison view:

  • Lead times

  • Tooling cost

  • Unit price (across quantities)

  • Material selection

  • Supplier notes or recommendations

This helps buyers quickly identify the best fit while giving suppliers a fair opportunity to showcase their advantages.
