Selecting the Right Plastic Injection Molding Surface Finish Parts made from injection molding have the potential to have several surface finishes. The main reasons include aesthetic and functional purposes. This affects the parts’ texture, feel, and look. Designers should figure out the choice of surface finish early in the initial stages of the projects.…
How to Apply Appropriate Textures to Injection Molding Tools Plastic parts range from cosmetic housing units to internal components that need fine polishing. However, most people give little attention to the level of the surface of finish done on the parts. Product designers consider this an essential aspect for any plastic part made. The…
Design Guide for Injection Molding Tools Manufacturing Injection molding is a manufacturing process that relies on precision to make great plastic parts. Generally, it involves injecting molten plastic into a carefully pre-designed mold. The plastic then cools and hardens into the desired product or part. Later, we eject the piece from the mold. It…
Guide to Managing Sink Marks in Injection Molding Production Sink marks are among the commonest cosmetic defects of injection molded parts. A characteristic is surface depression often seen in thick wall sections. Examples of features that use thick material include ribs or bosses. They cause uneven shrinkage while the part cools. It happens that…
Compared Overmolding and Insert Molding Process Injection molding is an important form of the additive process used in the manufacturing industry. It involves using a metal tool to form solid parts from molten plastic. We first inject the hot liquid plastic into the mold, taking its shape. The plastic then solidifies allowing ejection of…
Guide to Optimizing Injection Molding Tolerances Injection molding is the ideal process for manufacturing many plastic products. It is mainly due to its low unit cost and high production rates. The feature of tolerance plays an important role in part production, just like any other manufacturing process. When incorrectly controlled or specified, the final…
