About custom plastic molding

How Does Plastic Injection Moulding Work?

Resin pellets are loaded into a barrel where they will eventually be melted, compressed, and injected into the mould’s runner system. Hot resin is shot into the mould cavity through the gates and the part is moulded. Ejector pins facilitate removal of the part from the mould where it falls into a loading bin. When the run is complete, parts (or the initial sample run) are boxed and shipped shortly thereafter. Request your Free Design Cube which shows surface finishes and thick and thin finishes.

The main goal of mold design is to make the process as easy as possible, while ensuring the highest quality and lowest cost. It all depends on what kind of tooling or prototype molding option is best for your product. You can choose from dozens of different materials and finish options to suit your needs.

Another reason to choose custom plastic injection molding is the accuracy. The pressure used to inject the plastic into the mold allows it to get tiny details and intricate designs that other processes could not possibly capture. Other processes can be too bulky to achieve the precision necessary for small details and intricate designs. In this case, custom plastic injection molding is the most efficient way to achieve these goals. The precision of the process allows the molder to produce the same item over again.
