    Injection mold piece of Lexan breaks

    You should inquire if the moulder is using regrind material as this can affect mechanical properties. Also find out if there's a filler in the material such as glass or a mineral such as talc which cheapens the material and is probably uncall for. I'd be careful when you broach the moulding...
