Avoiding Defects In Manufactured Plastic Parts

Quality Manufactured Plastic Components
When you employ a reputable plastics manufacturer, it shows. Unfortunately, when you hire a disreputable manufacturer, it shows more. When hiring a manufacturer, avoiding defects in manufactured plastic parts should be first and foremost on your mind. Here are some tips on how to avoid defects, for a near flawless production run.

These Three Factors Determine The Success Or Failure Of A Production Run:

The processing
The mold
The material

Making sure each of these elements is functional before the molding process […]

Custom Plastic Components

Quality Custom Plastic Components
Molded plastic has come a long way in recent years. Once a brittle, short-lived item, today’s molded plastics can be made from thousands of different polymers that provide durability, strength, and flexibility to the production of countless automotive, medical, electronic, and consumer products. These products provide the added advantage of creating consistently identical parts that require minimal assembly after production. Quality assurance is built in at a significant savings.

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 When each piece must be exactly the same, you cannot afford mistakes or outdated methods.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.

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 […]

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 […]

RUNNER SYSTEM OF INJECTION MOLDS

When molten plastic material leaves the barrel through the nozzle, it is guided toward the mold cavity, its final destination. Its flow path is called runner system, such as the sprue, runners, gates. The runner is in a simple direct route or goes through a series if turns that the flow molten material twists, and restrictions as it approaches the mold cavity. The molten plastic material flows into this cavity, takes the configuration of this chamber in the shape […]

Understanding with the injection molding process

With the use of injection molding presses and high-performance resins, plastic injection molders are able to craft a broad range of quality custom parts. Just as all resins are unique, these sophisticated machines offer varied capabilities and performance options depending on press size and type.
To ensure optimal quality and value, it’s critical to partner with a manufacturer who can provide the right size press for your specific needs.
