Unlike resin which is cast into inexpensive plaster molds, Vivex is injected under pressure into expensive steel molds which produces a very hard and dense component. Another added benefit to injection molding is the quality of the detail of the part. The parts come out of the mold with very crisp lines and intricate detail not formerly obtainable from resin casting. Here you see an arm of a Vivex fixture along with the steel die that it was molded from. This metal tooling was major investment on behalf of Maxim Lighting. The total costs for research and development and tooling costs exceed 00000, and will continue to grow as the Vivex line is expanded to more fixtures.
