Basics of Injection Molding Desig
Plastic injection molding is the preferred process for manufacturing plastic parts. Injection molding is used to create many things such as electronic housings, containers, bottle caps, automotive interiors, combs, and most other plastic products available today. It is ideal for producing high volumes of plastic parts due to the fact that several parts can be produced in each cycle by using multi-cavity injection molds. Some advantages of injection molding are high tolerance precision, repeatability, large material selection, low labor cost, minimal scrap losses, and little need to finish parts after molding. Some disadvantages of this process are an expensive upfront tooling investment and process limitations.
Applications Include:
- Packaging
- Consumer goods
- Medical devices
- Electronics & telecommunications
- Mechanical parts (including gears)
- Most other common plastic products available today
At TDL Mold, we know that the products you make are only as good as the materials and processes behind them. We believe that every part should be built from quality raw materials, likeconcept of Mold Design, high-temperature thermoplastics and engineering resins. Our skilled technicians help our partners–from startups to established companies–source these materials and develop them into cost-effective injection molds using state-of-the-art technologies like two-shot moldingand 3D printing
