How Can An Injection Mold Manufacturer Boost Your Profits?
Cutting costs while retaining high quality standards has never been more important in manufacturing. Competition is fierce in these difficult economic times, with increasing labour, overhead, and materials costs that make beating the competition difficult. Working in partnership with an injection mold manufacturer can help you cut costs while ensuring product quality and consistency. When each piece must be exactly the same, you cannot afford mistakes or outdated methods. Injection mold […]

ELEMENTS OF INJECTION MOLDING PLASTICS

Plastic materials is the most significant section of plastic injection molding. However, have you ever thought what is plastic or what made up of plastic?

Practically stated, a plastic is an organic polymer, available in some resin form or some form derived from the basic polymerized resin. These forms can be liquid or paste-like resins for embedding, coating, and adhesive bonding, or solid pellets that they can be molded, laminated, or formed shapes, including sheet, film, or larger-mass bulk shapes.

Custom Injection Molders

Evaluating A Custom Injection Molder
Ever since its inception, injection molding has become a popular technique to form a variety of different products. Its strengths lie in its ability to recreate objects en masse, producing thousands of replicas based upon a single template. Driven by automation and requiring minimal human guidance or interference to run properly, the technology remains a top choice for any company that seeks massive reproductions.
But how do you know that you’ve found good custom injection molders? […]

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INJECTION MOLDING

What is injection molding:
Plastic injection molding is a process that forces liquid plastic into a mold to make custom plastic name plates, plaques, signs and product branding elements. Once the plastic cools and solidifies, it releases from the mold to form a variety of plastic parts for any industry. Popular uses of injection-molded include: appliance name plates, name plates for industrial equipment, car emblems, vehicle branding and license plate holders, as well as product identification for recreational products.

Processing Techniques
As designers continue to push the limits of technology, they frequently encounter a hidden handicap: a lack of manufacturing techniques to match the specifications they require. This has led to a much less publicized but no less important revolution and genesis of techniques to create the necessary components.

One of the more popular techniques is injection molding. Services that can offer this to their clients are constantly increasing, but it remains a somewhat arcane and unknown technique in the eyes of […]

Injection Mold Manufacturing

Injection Mold Manufacturing and Plastics Production
As early as the 1860s, people were learning how to make and use plastics. Due to its flexibility when warm and ability to hold a shape when cool, plastic made it easier to create new products. Unfortunately, it was difficult to produce affordable, quality plastics that did not warp or break.
As manufacturers experimented with plastic polymers, small items became easier to produce in greater quantities. But it wasn’t until the 1940s, when demand for large amounts […]

Injection or thermoforming: what’s best choice for custom plastic molding

Custom Plastic Injection Molding
Custom Plastic molding offers a versatile and wide range of applications, from food storage to medical supplies, and beyond. However, the manufacturing of each part or tool is just as unique as the part itself. Two of the most prominent manufacturing methods are injection molding and thermoforming. Here, we’ll highlight how each works, as well as the advantages and best use of each.
As we mentioned, thermoforming and  injection molding are the most widely used manufacturing processes. Both offer […]

8 DESIGN RULES FOR PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS

When designing for manufacture with plastic injection molding, there are still more guidelines to be taken into consideration. The easier it is for the toolmakers to create your mold, the faster your turnaround time will be, increasing the speed that your product will be out there for consumers. Here’s 8 design rules to follow when designing for manufacture:
1. Coherence. Try to make your design uniform throughout. That is, wall thickness, rib thickness and corner radii, for instance, should all be […]

Most Common Compounds Used For Plastic Electronic Enclosure Manufacturing

Plastics Contract Manufacturers
There are many questions to consider when selecting a plastic for electronic enclosure manufacturing.
Here Are Some Of The Questions You Might Ask Your Company Or Designer:
What is the electrical resistance?
What is the chemical resistance?
Do you have application specific needs, like biocompatibility?
What mechanical properties does it need?

This is just the beginning. There are so many questions to answer, where do you begin? There are many grades, but there are only a handful of plastics that are most commonly […]

OVERVIEW OF PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING

Plastic injection molding is the method of manufacturing parts made of thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic by melting and forcing into molds where they cool to form the desired object.

Little history about Plastic injection molding
The injection molding process is not a new concept. It came into existence by 1872. By the introduction of plastic injection molding, the plastic industry saw multi-billion dollar earnings, with 32 % of all plastics, by weight processed by injection molding. This has made the plastic […]
