In general they are very expensive with the major cost principally in machine building labor. The proper choice of materials of construction for their different parts is paramount to quality, performance, and longevity of a mold/die. Add good machinability of component metal parts, material which will accept the desired finish (polished, textured, etc.), ability to transfer heat rapidly and evenly, capability of sustained production without constant maintenance, etc.
