What is Plastic Injection Molding?
Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process that produces plastic parts by injecting molten material into a custom-made mold. It is used for both high-volume production and low-volume runs, offering precise, repeatable results for everything from prototypes to full-scale production.
Plastic Injection Molding & Tooling Solutions for Medical, Firearms Components, Automotive and Consumer Products Industries
- Molded Parts: Plastic injection molded parts are our specialty. We manage every stage, from initial part design review to mold construction and final plastic injection molded part delivery to ensure consistent, in-spec results. We support a wide range of materials, from commodity resins like polypropylene to advanced engineering-grade polymers like PEEK. Whether it’s a short run or full production, we deliver plastic molded parts that are ready for assembly.
- Tooling/Molds: We provide high-quality plastic injection molds tailored to your molding machine specifications ready for production at your facility. Whether you need prototype tooling for early part validation or fully-hardened production molds for long-term, high-volume use, we offer molds built to SPI Class 101 through Class 105 standards.
- Mold Design: Our plastic injection mold design services are tailored to your exact needs. We offer in-house mold design capabilities and also collaborate with a network of trusted international partners across Taiwan, China, Malaysia, and the U.S. All plastic injection molds are built to our exacting standards, whether domestic or offshore. Once completed, plastic injection molds can be delivered directly to your facility ready to run in your molding presses.
- DFM: We provide expert Design for Manufacturability (DFM) guidance to ensure your plastic part designs are optimized for efficient, high-quality plastic injection molding. Whether it’s adjusting wall thicknesses, minimizing undercuts, managing parting line locations, or assisting with Mold Flow Analysis, we help refine your plastic injection molded part design before any steel is cut; saving time, cost, and headaches down the line.
- Project Management: We provide comprehensive project management from initial quote through production. With over 25 years in the plastics industry, we know what to watch for and how to navigate complex tooling and molding challenges. Our hands-on approach ensures timelines are met, issues are anticipated, and the final product meets all expectations. We apply Scientific Molding principles throughout development, using data-driven processing and iteration to achieve your Golden Sample, the validated part that sets the standard for production.
- Vendor/Supplier Visits: We provide on-site support for critical production milestones, including help with first article inspections, sample runs, and production ramp-ups. With boots-on-the-ground availability in the U.S., China, Malaysia, Taiwan, and beyond, we’re ready to be where you need us ensuring your tooling runs smoothly, no matter where it’s built.
