Injection molding intake that asks what your line actually needs to
Every injection molding enquiry captures project status, CAD file availability, and production quantity up front, so your team can see mold readiness and volume before scheduling a capability review. Buyers attach CAD files and part drawings directly during intake.
The exact intake your injection molding leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Injection Molding — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified injection molding lead should tell you
Custom manufacturing of plastic parts by injecting molten resin into a mold, spanning prototype runs through high-volume production — qualification hinges on whether the buyer already owns a mold, has a finished CAD design, and knows their target quantity.
- Current Status Project
- Already Have Completed Part
- Estimated Production Quantity
- Industry Or Application This
- Have Specific Plastic Material
- Production Start
- Decision Maker Approving This
The questions your team needs answered
Every injection molding intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What is the current status of your project? | Separates buyers who only need parts run from a mold they already own from those who need a mold built or feasibility work first, which changes the sales cycle length before any quoting happens. |
| Do you already have a completed part design or CAD file? | A completed CAD file means the part is ready for tooling quotes now, while no CAD signals design work needs to happen before a capability review is worth scheduling. |
| What is the estimated production quantity you need? | Production quantity determines whether the run fits your shop's tonnage and cycle capacity, making it the fastest way to catch a lead that would otherwise get quoted on a line that can't take it. |
| Which industry or application is this part intended for? | Medical or automotive applications often carry certification requirements that consumer goods parts don't, which changes what your team needs to confirm before committing to the project. |
| Do you have a specific plastic material or resin type already specified? | A buyer without a resin already specified may need material selection support, which adds time to the project timeline before a mold can be scoped. |
| When do you need production to start? | Immediate start dates need line capacity confirmed before booking a review, while planning-ahead timelines can be queued without disrupting current production. |
| Are you the decision maker for approving this manufacturing project? | Leads who aren't the approving decision maker get routed for nurturing instead of tying up shop-floor time on a capability review that may not close. |

Built for injection molding workflows
| Cliont capability | Injection Molding application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | Routes 'have mold' leads straight to quantity and material questions while 'need mold built' or 'need design help' leads get flagged for a longer, feasibility-first conversation. |
| File upload capture | Collects CAD files and part drawings at intake so your team can review part geometry before the capability review is even booked. |
| Weighted lead scoring | Combines project status, CAD ownership, and production quantity into a single score so high-volume, mold-ready leads surface above exploratory prototype inquiries. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified leads straight to your CRM with decision-maker status attached, so sales can prioritize buyers who can actually approve the project. |
Common injection molding lead scenarios
Buyer already owns a mold
The lead selects 'Have mold, need parts produced' and confirms a completed CAD file, so the intake can push straight to quantity and material details instead of feasibility questions.
New part, no mold yet
A buyer needs a mold built and parts produced but has no CAD file, so the intake flags a longer sales cycle and can be routed toward Mold Design and Tooling or Plastic Prototyping conversations first.
Prototype-only inquiry
The buyer selects prototype or sample quantity under 100 and is exploring options with no design yet, signaling a lower-commitment lead that still deserves tracking but not immediate line capacity checks.
High-volume production ready
A buyer with a completed CAD file, a specified resin, and volume over 10,000 units is asking to start immediately, which is the profile most likely to need a run the line genuinely can't take if quoted blind.
Researcher, not the buyer
Someone fills out the intake but isn't the decision maker for approving the project, so the lead still gets scored and stored but flagged for a slower follow-up rather than a booked capability review.

Injection Molding lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell whether a lead already has a mold or needs one built?
The project status question separates buyers who have a mold and need parts run from those who need a mold built and parts produced, or who need design and feasibility help first, so each path can be handled differently before anyone touches a quote.
What happens if a buyer doesn't have a CAD file yet?
The intake still captures the lead but flags it as needing design work before tooling can be quoted, which is useful context if that buyer is better suited to the Plastic Prototyping or Mold Design and Tooling intake instead.
Does the intake ask about material or resin type?
Yes, the intake asks whether a specific plastic material or resin has already been specified, which tells you if material selection support is needed before a mold can even be scoped.
How does production quantity affect lead scoring?
Quantity ranges from prototype (under 100) through high volume (over 10,000) carry different weights in scoring, since volume is one of the fastest signals for whether a run fits your line's capacity.
Can the intake collect CAD files or part drawings?
Yes, buyers can attach CAD files and part drawings during intake so your team has the design in hand before the capability review is scheduled.
How does the intake handle leads who aren't the actual decision maker?
The decision-maker question is weighted separately, so leads still awaiting internal approval are captured and routed to your CRM but distinguished from leads ready to commit.
What about leads who are just exploring options with no design yet?
Those leads carry lower weight in the project status question but are still logged, giving you visibility into early-stage interest without treating them the same as a ready-to-run job.
