Hi there,
This is Bogdan from Romania.
I'm a mechanical engineer - specialized in the industrial robotic field, 3D designer and modeler (from time to time and some projects I could make the functional prototype too).
I'm doing product design, industrial design, reverse engineering, ideation, etc.
I have over 15 years experience working on various systems/devices across multiple industries, from concept to launch.
1 - first at all, it depends on the pot parameters - size(dimensions), wall thickness, embossed/recessed addons, model on the lip/bottom, etc...
3 - the mold itself as price depends the quality which depends on the estimate production (is one thing to make a mold for 1k pieces and totally different for 1M...)
4 - also the mold type and consequently the price (which in the end will reflect in the price of every single pot manufactured) depends somehow the required quality of the pot and the materials to be used...
5 - if you have the 3d model of the pot, i could open a rfq on some manufacturing portals (where i'm a registered member) and find out the necessary info, and in the end to point you to the best manufacturer
Regards
Bogdan
