About plastic injection molding
Plastic injection molding is the process of melting plastic pellets (thermoset/thermoplastic polymers), once sufficiently malleable, injecting them under pressure into a mold cavity, filling and curing to produce the final product.
Why choose injection molding for your project?
TKB utilizes a process driven by rapid injection molding technology, utilizing manufacturing automation. Various models are sent directly to the production shop where the mold milling begins, but in most cases, the molds are made of aluminum, not steel. This enables faster, most cost-effective tooling compared to traditional steel dies. Our one-stop service. More than 15 years experience mold maker.
How does plastic injection molding work?
Protolabs’ thermoplastic injection molding process is a standard process involving aluminum molds. Aluminium transfers heat more efficiently than steel, so cooling channels are not required – meaning the cooling time we save can be used to monitor fill pressure, cosmetic issues and produce quality parts.
