A: Injection molding is an extremely versatile and popular form of molding. Other processes include extrusion, thermoforming, compression, and blow molding.
In injection molding, plastic granules are heated and injected under pressure into metal molds, where the molten plastic hardens into the designated shape. The mold then opens and the formed part is removed and inspected. The part is then ready for shipment or for secondary manufacturing operations, such as screening.
A: If you need high production (1,000 or more per year), low part cost, and repeatability in your product, injection molding may very well be what you are looking for.
A: We do our best to capture the information needed to provide an accurate quote. Please provide the following information, if known: Part weight, Type of plastic, Overall part/mold dimensions, Quantity, Color
A: It depends on the mould quantity & complexity. Usually we can complete the quotation within 2 working days once we get sufficient information from customer.
A: Our design lead time is 2-4 days for DFM report initial 2D design, then 3-5 days for 3D design upon approval of 2D design.
