Multi-shot plastic injection moulding provides a viable solution for bonding various materials and colours into a single component. It offers significant advantages in precision and repeatability for the efficient production of complex parts at scale.
Our third blog on demystifying plastic injection moulding terminology focusses on some more obvious terms.
Mould tooling is integral to the process of injection moulding in plastic. Plastic injection mould tooling, or tooling design, determines the quality of moulded parts and components. Different moulding processes require different types of tooling methods.
To get to the point that you have a production ready design for injection moulding, your plastic injection moulding company will discuss the different design and functional features you would like your part to have.
Since the first plastic injection moulding machine was invented 150 years ago, plastic injection moulders have continued to innovate to transform great ideas into functional components.
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.
