New Bait Idea- Need Source For Aluminum Mold Design & Production

[Acuna]

I have designed a soft plastic bait and I need to have a two piece aluminum mold produced so I can test this bait's effectiveness, action, etc. I think it will be a real winner. I'd say more, but I need to protect my idea before I start disclosing anything.... I am sure you understand.

I emailed Del-Mart through the contact page on its website to see if they can assist me and to get some more information about the process.

While I wait for a response, what should I expect for the cost of the mold? I admit I DO need CAD work performed to get the mold created. I do have some drawings of what the bait needs to look like and do not anticipate that it will be too difficult to turn the drawings into a CAD drawing and then into a mold. I guess what I am saying is that I do not have an actual bait to send to anyone to help get the mold created. Creating a mold is not within my skill set....... neither is carving, etc. I need someone to take some drawings and turn them into reality....

What do you think something like this will cost?

Is there anyone besides Del that I should contact about possibly having this done? Based on my research and the posts on this forum, it seems like Del-Mart is "the place" and is my first choice if they can help me with this project.

Thanks!

There are many mold makers out there. Search this forum and you will get the list.

Also, search for the post on protecting your idea. You will get some very good info on keeping a notebook, etc!
