Plastic Injection Molding and Customization
Custom plastic injection molding machines were created in early 1930’s to meet the growing industrial needs and complexities of the molding process. The machines used in such factories allow for mass production as well as repeated runs of particular parts.During the plastic injection molding process, these machines are used to make custom plastic parts and have become one of the easiest and most cost effective processes that is used by leading industries that use plastic components or parts. In this process, to manufacture custom plastic parts, melted plastic is injected in a mold using hydraulic force to give the plastic a particular shape. Around 35 percent of all plastic parts today are manufactured using custom plastic injection molding services.
Why the Plastic Injection Molding Process Works
Aside from being simple and reliable, it is also extremely efficient. One should have absolutely no doubt about using this process to manufacture custom plastic parts. A custom plastic injection molding machine consists of three vital components that usually vary from model and make.The mold is the main component that gives the desired shape to the custom plastic parts, while main clamping unit holds various mold parts together throughout the process. The injection molding unit processes the plastic granules and feeds it directly to the mold for the final product. Custom plastic injection molding has definitely revolutionized the manufacturing sector, with more developments improving the efficiency in producing complex custom plastic parts. Here are some of the benefits of the process.
It's fast. This is the main reason why injection molding is one of the best technologies for long manufacturing runs. It’s really fast. How fast? While the manufacturing speed for custom plastic parts will depend upon the complexity of the mold, generally it is about 14-30 seconds pass between cycle times.
Plastic injection molding is accurate. It's a highly precise process that can easily fabricate any kind of plastic part. There are some design restrictions but molds used in the machine allow the finished product to be very precise. Usually the accuracy is within 0.005 inches. Low labor costs is another reason for molding plastic. Injection molding machines run with an automatic, self-gating tool that keeps operations streamlined and production process ongoing, requiring minimal supervision.
The final reason for injection molding is flexibility. Aside from being highly accurate, the injection molding process used to manufacture custom plastic parts is also a highly flexible one. You just have to change the type of material which is being produced as well as the color of your product to get entirely different results.
So if you need plastic parts, the best process to get them made is plastic injection molding.
