Custom Plastic Injection Molding: TEAM MFG China

Custom plastic injection molding is a process that can be used for creating plastic parts that are designed to feature specific mechanical and aesthetic features.

Custom Plastic Injection Molding Process

This process is one of the oldest methods of plastic injection molding and plays a crucial role in the development of plastic parts. It uses a variety of plastic resins and heated or melted plastic to create the finished product. This process is commonly used by manufacturers to convert heavy metal parts into plastic components. The parts are then molded into a mold using a heated or melted plastic. While it can seem simple, the process requires a high level of expertise and resources to meet the specific requirements of each project. Doing so can help avoid costly mistakes and provide a better product.

Scientific Custom Plastic Injection Molding

A scientific approach to plastic injection molding allows us to produce parts that are designed to perform well and have high precision. Our precision plastic injection molding techniques help us produce parts that are both durable and attractive. Various factors such as temperature, pressure, and cavity fill time are taken into account to optimize the process. Mold flow analysis is a process that measures the flow of a part as it goes through various stages. This allows engineers to identify potential issues and provide predictive engineering analysis. Production processes that use robust controls can help minimize waste and time. These features can also help minimize processing time.Should a variation or malfunction occur, it is rapidly identified and isolated before nonconforming parts are made.

Custom Plastic Overmolding

Overmolding is a process where two or more materials are combined into a single part. This method is commonly used for creating a softer grip area or for enhancing the appearance of a part. Although it eliminates the need for secondary operations, overmolding can be very time-consuming and require special skills to achieve. Overmolding can be done in two different ways: by using a plastic substrate and by using a rubber over plastic substrate. Overmolding is ideal for creating handgrips or other mechanical components with distinct colors. This process is ideal for creating various types of handgrips and for enhancing the appearance of a part with different colors.

Custom Plastic Insert Molding

In insert molding, an object is placed inside a mold cavity. It uses a process known as bonding to plastic objects. One of the most common types of insert materials used in plastic injection is threaded. This process eliminates the need for manual labor.

Part Decorating and Labeling

In-mold labeling and in-mold decoration are also used to create stunning designs on plastic parts. These procedures are made possible through the use of robots and vacuum grip. The printed film overlay is then added to the mold cavity to create a permanent bond between the finished product and the part. The in-mold labeling process is very time-efficient and eliminates the need for post-process operations. It allows one to experiment with various surface coating techniques.
