Do I need plastic injection moulding?
This is a very common question. Another one that you should ask yourself after you ask that one is whether or not you need parts made, and how else you would go about accomplishing that if not by plastic injection moulding.
After you make the finalised decisions on the design and materials of the plastic part you want, the first step to getting the part plastic moulded is to build the mould.
Plastic injection moulding is the preferred manufacturing process when you want or need to make hundreds or thousands of the same plastic part. This process involves heating small plastic beads at a high temperature until they reach a liquid or near liquid state, and then injecting that material under pressure into the cavity of a metal mould.
This process, the building of the mould as well as the finished product, is one that requires great precision and the use of specialist design software (CAD and CAM) and metal working equipment. The cost of this process varies depending on a number of factors, such as:
- the size of the mould
- the number of cavities in the mould
- the material the mould is made from
- the texture of the finish required on the moulded article
- the complexity of the part; among other factors
