Plastic Injection Molding

Plastic injection molding machines were made to be both versatile and efficient when it comes to mass production of plastic parts.

Plastic injection molding.

Injection molding produces low scrap rates relative to traditional manufacturing processes like cnc machining which cut away substantial percentages of an original plastic block or sheet. This however can be a negative relative to additive manufacturing processes like 3d printing that have even lower scrap rates. Injection molding is the process of making custom plastic parts by injecting molten plastic material at high pressure into a metal mold. It is most commonly used to process both thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers with the volume used of the former being considerably higher.

Injection mold manufacturing is typically used when the same part is being created thousands or even millions of times in succession and a plastic mold maker is needed to handle the production of these products. 1 3 thermoplastics are prevalent due to characteristics that make. Just like other forms of plastic molding after the molten plastic is injected into the mold the mold is cooled and opened to reveal a solid plastic part. Plastic injection molding our plastic injection molding process produces custom prototypes and end use production parts in 15 days or less.

Customers choose msi mold to be their injection molding supplier for our outstanding customer service consistent high quality injection mold parts and reliable on time deliveries. The heated plastic is injected into the mold. In some cases as with the use of robots the cycle runs part to part which means the cycle begins and ends when the robot receives a new part or the new part touches the conveyor belt. Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing large quantities of plastic parts.

We use aluminum molds that offer cost efficient tooling and accelerated manufacturing cycles and stock more than 100 different thermoplastic resins. Injection moulding uses a ram or screw type plunger to force molten plastic material into a mould cavity.

We have built more than 1 700 molds for plastic injection and have shipped almost 6 000 000 parts and assemblies to a long list of industries.
