  5. Annual volumes & ramp

This is a placeholder for the full injection molding readiness checklist. The PDF version below contains the complete checklist and worked examples. SmartFab uses this same checklist when reviewing inbound RFQs, so working through it before you submit tends to surface gaps early and shortens the time to a serious quote.
