precision injection plastic mold makers
Don't let the precision injection plastic mold makers or
design limitations of metals trap you between a rock and
a hard place. Increase your design options and
requirements and still keep costs down. The area of
greatest difference between metals and plastics is
plastics' ease in producing complex shapes. The costly
assembly of several precision injection plastic mold
makers or castings fastened together can often be
replaced by a single injection molded part incorporating
the features of the total assembly. If multiple
assemblies are required, the plastic parts can have
snap-together features to eliminate any fasteners.
Precision injection plastic mold makers can shorten the
time to the market place in new product development
programs because of elimination of sub-assembly tooling
or fixtures.
If heavy metal shakes, rattles and rolls, then plastic
twists and shouts. Plastics are easily processed into
complex shapes that would be impossible for metal
because plastic materials have non-Newtonian flow
behavior. This means that the viscosity (resistance to
flow) will decrease when the flow rate increases. The
flow rate is increased by increasing the injection
pressures. The standard injection molding pressures are
20,000 to 30,000 Psi. This capability allows plastics to
be made to flow to produce thin walled parts with
uniform wall dimensions replacing the more costly
thicker-walled design features of most metal parts by
