Injection Molding
We specialize in custom plastic injection molding to produce a wide variety of products from high-tech parts with very tight tolerances to consumer products including over-molding and insert molding. We have a variety of machines that enable us to handle everything from single cavity custom parts to high cavitation molds. Our machines are constantly monitored using a centralized computer system to ensure SPC’s are always within specification. We know that our clients want quality, affordability, and efficiency. We can provide the highest quality parts from almost any engineered plastics raw material. Our high volume injection molding capabilities and precision tool makers in our facility allow us to provide quick turn around service and reduced costs to our clients. But our flexibility is what allows us to grow and to deliver high quality custom parts time after time. Contact us for all of your injection molding needs.

In-Depth Definition
Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component to entire body panels of cars.
Applications
Injection molding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging, bottle caps, automotive dashboards, pocket combs, and most other plastic products available today. Injection molding is the most common method of part manufacturing. It is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object. Some advantages of injection molding are high production rates, repeatable high tolerances, the ability to use a wide range of materials, low labor cost, minimal scrap losses, and little need to finish parts after molding. Some disadvantages of this process are expensive equipment investment, potentially high running costs, and the need to design moldable parts.
