Plastic Injection

Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process where molten thermoplastic is injected under high pressure into a custom-designed mold. Once cooled and solidified, the mold opens to eject the final part. It is widely used for mass-producing identical plastic components with high precision.

Key Applications

• Consumer Goods:Packaging, toys, household items (e.g., bottle caps, containers).
• Automotive: Dashboards, bumpers, interior trim.
• Medical: Syringes, surgical tools, disposable devices.
• Electronics: Housings, connectors, cable components.
• Industrial: Pipes, fittings, machinery parts.

Advantages

• High Efficiency: Fast production of large volumes.
• Low Per-Unit Cost: Economical for mass production.
• Precision & Consistency: Complex geometries with tight tolerances.
• Material Variety: Compatible with most thermoplastics (e.g., ABS, polypropylene, nylon).
• Minimal Waste: Excess material can often be recycled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for injection moulding?

Prototype and bridge moulds start from around 100 parts, while production tooling becomes economical from roughly 1,000 to 100,000+ parts depending on the resin and mould life you need.

How long does it take to make an injection mould?

Soft tooling (aluminium or 3D-printed) takes 5-10 working days. Production steel moulds typically take 3-5 weeks including T1 samples.

Which plastics do you mould?

ABS, PC, PA6/PA12, PP, POM, TPU, glass-filled grades and most commodity and engineering resins, with material data sheets and certificates available.

Do you offer DFM feedback before tooling starts?

Yes. Our engineers review draft angles, wall thickness, gate location, undercuts and sink risk, and return a free DFM report before any mould is cut.
