Injection Molding
DESCRIPTION
Contract Manufacturing – On Time, Under Budget.
Injection Molding has been a preferred manufacturing process for producing parts from thermoplastic, thermoset and metal materials. It is widely used to manufacture a variety of parts in a range of sizes; however, only in the hands of expert design engineers and mold-makers will your project be destined for success.
BENEFITS
– Fast Production
Injection molding can produce an incredible amount of Thermoplastic parts per hour. It will depend on the parts geometry and specific material as well as how many cavities are in the tool. But this is your best option for a high volume scale production.
– Material and Color Flexibility
Once a tool has been made, almost any specialized material and color can be chosen to personalize your parts.
– Low Labor Costs
Once your tool design is ready and proven your parts can run with minimal human intervention due to an automatic tool running on an injection molding machine. Your parts will be ready in no time.
– Design Flexibility
Injection molded parts do have their design restrictions, these need to be sorted out in the design phase. So you need a partner that will be able to point out these issues so you part is correctly Design For Manufacturing.
– Low Waste
The plastics discarded are recycled in an attempt to reduce our waste output as much as possible in order to help the environment.
APPLICATIONS
Injection molding can create an abundant amount of goods for all Industries from something as simple as a bottle cap to complex automotive parts and components. It is the most common, modern method of manufacturing plastic parts and is ideal for high volumes.
