We have plastic molding solutions to fit every application. Below are descriptions of some of the most popular plastic fabrication processes, their advantages and examples of products commonly made using the technique.
Plastic injection molding is an extremely efficient way to create large quantities of parts and other plastic items. In this method, material pellets are melted at a uniform temperature and injected into a mold. The finished piece is then cooled and ejected. Because the process is almost completely automated, labor costs can be nearly eliminated. However, because molds must be constructed of high-grade temperature-resistant metal, this technique is usually suited for high-volume orders.
Overmolding
Overmolding is an ancillary process of injection molding in which a second application of material is injected for both functional and aesthetic purposes. Ergonomic handles are a common application for this technique. Tools that require precision, like surgical instruments, also frequently take advantage of this technology.
Compression Forming
Compression forming utilizes pressure to form plastic objects. It can be a perfect solution for projects that fit the required mold depth. This method boasts a relatively low cost for mold creation, maintenance, and tooling. Because this technique preserves materials’ mechanical and electrical properties, applications commonly include computer parts and electric switches. Toys, handles for cooking items and car bumpers are often made this way as well.
Vacuum Forming
Vacuum forming allows for the manufacturing of seamless plastic items quickly and economically. Using this technique is especially popular with large brands because logos and other insignia can be flawlessly reproduced. The process relies on air pressure, so the molds can be made from comparatively inexpensive materials like aluminum. Branded dividers in food packaging as well as full-scale housing for ATM machines are created using this method.
