Plastics used in injection molding can come in a variety of forms. There are various types of plastics, such as acrylic, PMMA, polycarbonate, nylon, and polyethylene. These plastics are all very common for use in injection molding. However, there are also a few lesser-known types of plastics used in the industry. In this blog post, we will discuss...

A small and simple single-cavity plastic injection mold typically costed between $1K and $5K back in 2013. Complex and very big molds would cost up to $80K and over. An average mold which manufactures a comparatively simpler component, which would be so small you could hold it in your hands, would cost about $12K. You must be wondering...

Plastic injection molding is a good way to assemble pieces of plastic to make an object. There are some aspects about it that people overlook. Design Decisions Determine 70% of Manufacturing Costs Design decisions determine 70 percent of manufacturing costs. If you have a product that is going to be made by injection molding, it is essential that...

Plastic injection molding, as the name implies, is a process of assembling pieces of plastic to form an object. It is the most common form of manufacturing and is used to make items like cars, computers, household appliances and many more. Plastic Injection Molding: Advantages and Disadvantages There are several pros and cons of plastic injection molding. We...

Deciding which material to use is one of the first decisions that one must make when designing a new injection-molded product. The additives and material you choose considerably affect the look and feel of the part, what the process will be, and how the plastic will flow through the injection mold. Read as the experts at this plastic...

Injection mold gates are openings that enable liquid plastic to be injected into the mold. To determine the type of gate to use as well as the ideal location, it’s important to consider the type of product being manufactured. The gate’s size carries equal importance as it affects the quality of the finished part. Here, our plastic injection...

Picking the right injection molding company for creating quality plastic parts is quite important. If you pick the wrong company, you might end up with defective parts, the wrong material, and late deliveries. But telling the good manufacturers apart from the subpar ones isn’t easy. Here are some questions you can ask your plastic parts manufacturer to determine...

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that uses a mold to rapidly manufacture plastic parts in bulk. The raw material for injection mold is plastic resin, so we are mainly focus on plastic injection molding. When using injection molding to manufacture plastic parts, you first feed plastic pellets of your chosen material into the machine’s barrel through a...

Injection molding is a common technique used to make plastic items and parts. The process involves melting plastic pellets at high temperatures and passing the molten plastic into a plastic injection mold through a nozzle. The finished product is ejected from the mold after proper cooling. The final shape of the product depends on the mold design. This...

The manufacturing process can be a tad complex and there are a range of factors to take into account when selecting an injection molding partner that best suits your production requirements, unique products, and your industry. The best place to start is by gaining a rudimentary knowledge of the plastic injection molding process. This process uses plastic resins...

The use of gears can be traced back to ancient times when it was first made using stones. Today, we use injection molded plastic gears. Plastic gears didn’t promise many applications initially as operators weren’t sure how this material would perform when in contact with chemicals, moisture, and exposed to different temperatures. However, today, plastic gears have become...

Thermoplastics are the most common materials used in injection molding processes. ABS is a rigid and tough thermoplastic material used to produce several plastic parts for common and industrial use. The properties of the material give the parts increased tensile strength and durability. Moreover, plastic is relatively inexpensive, leading to lower production costs. Learn all about the ABS injection molding process...

Sales of electric cars doubled in 2021 to a new record of 6.6 million and are projected to grow even further in 2022. The increase in demand for eco-friendly transportation options,...

Plastic injection molding is a popular manufacturing process, the advantages of which center around high repeatability and incredible precision, combined with a low cost per part, speed, and a massive choice of available plastics. Read as our injection molding manufacturers highlight the top eight advantages of plastic injection molding. 1. Reduces waste Industrial manufacturing processes must align with...

Manufacturers have historically relied on metals to create parts for their products. Metals possess various qualities that make them ideal manufacturing tools. They are strong and have ideal electricity and chemical resistance characteristics. However, they are quite expensive and don’t offer the same flexibility in design and prototyping as plastic. The introduction of new techniques and technologies, such...

A delicate balance of time and resources is required to mass produce a product with reasonable cost, on-time delivery, and consistent quality. While certain companies offer the lowest cost, they may lack the in-house capability to handle every facet of the production process. When it comes to choosing your manufacturing partner, you should go for a turnkey manufacturer...

Quality certifications such as the ones provided by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are becoming increasingly important for manufacturing businesses. Whether you’re a plastic injection molding company or a boutique entity manufacturing a niche product, a quality certification will help you stand out. Quality certifications can definitely make a lot of difference in the level of success your...

Plastic injection molding is a popular manufacturing method for producing new products.
