Plastic injection moulding is perfect for high volume production of plastic parts and components for a wide range of industries. This is largely due to the fact that once in production, it is an extremely efficient, cost effective and quick method of making parts.
When looking for a supplier of large injection moulded parts it is important to understand what machines they have. In addition to the clamping force of the machines, there are other major considerations to take into account …
For production, fully hardened steel tooling is the industry standard for the injection moulding process, and normally comes with a 1 million shot warranty…
The injection moulding process can often be an afterthought when it comes to designing parts. To ensure you don’t unnecessarily delay your next project, here are our top five tips…
Plastics play a crucial role in our lives. They appear in almost everything we use, from our cars, computers and televisions, to food packaging, toys and leisure goods. Plastics are incredibly useful yet, as society is becoming increasingly aware, are beginning to present a growing environmental threat.
As injection mould manufacturing processes have evolved, so too has the development of specialised technical engineering materials.
By combining our direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and CNC machining into a single production system, we’ve developed a range of innovative techniques for the manufacture of plastic injection mould tooling. Using this hybrid manufacturing system, we can offer: The ability to reduce lead times for plastic injection mould tooling, to just a few weeks Special tool inserts that eliminate the problems of gas traps in plastic injection …
