Faucet OEM Mold and Tooling Cost

When you develop a custom faucet, mold and tooling cost is one of the first questions to confirm. VIGA is a faucet factory with in-house casting and machining, and this page explains faucet mold cost and how OEM tooling works.

When Do You Need New Tooling

New molds are needed when you develop a new faucet body shape or a custom component. If you use an existing VIGA design with only a logo or finish change, new tooling is usually not required.

What Affects Faucet Mold Cost

• Product size and shape complexity
• Number of cavities in the mold
• Material and mold steel quality
• Whether it is gravity casting or another process

Who Owns the Mold

Mold ownership depends on the agreement. Common options are the buyer owns the mold after full payment, or the tooling cost is amortized and refunded against a certain order volume. VIGA can confirm the arrangement for your project.

Can I Use Existing VIGA Molds

VIGA has a large library of existing faucet designs. Using an existing mold reduces tooling cost and shortens the development time, especially for OEM projects with custom finish and logo.
