Questions that may be of interest to you

What is the injection molding process?

In the custom plastic injection molding manufacturing process, the molten plastic mixture is pressed into a customized mold under high pressure to make the material have the shape of the mold cavity. Once the part is removed from the mold, it is usually complete, but secondary processing may be required.

What are the benefits of injection molding?

Custom plastic injection molding has a history of nearly 150 years. Due to the following main advantages, this manufacturing process is very suitable for manufacturing a large number of identical objects:
High precision and accuracy
High efficiency
High flexibility
Consistency
Lower labor costs and minimal post-production work
Affordability
Sustainability

What product is injection molded?

Since injection molding is the most common method of manufacturing plastic parts, the product list can range from bottle caps to car parts. More complex parts are made by combining two or more materials through a special process called overmolding.

What materials are used for injection molding?

Special types of plastics are usually used in injection mold manufacturing, including: polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), nylon, etc.
As a reputable Custom Plastic Molds injection molding company, WIT MOLD provides a series of plastic materials that can be used in the manufacturing process.

How are injection molds made?

Custom Plastic Molds injection molders use computer-aided design (CAD) software or similar software to produce Custom Plastic Molds. The molds are processed from solid metals of different disciplines. Usually there are two halves that are combined during the mold assembly process.
The injection mold is essentially a hollow metal block. The cavity in the mold is filled through gates and runners. Once filled with plastic, the required parts will be produced. To learn more about our Custom Plastic Molds injection molding manufacturing and its needs, please feel free to contact us.

How long can the injection mold last?

The life of a mold is directly related to the type of mold, the type of material injected into it, and the number of parts produced.
If constructed and maintained properly, the life expectancy of the mold can last for millions of parts. Application (ie: prototyping, production) usually determines the durability of the mold.

What is custom injection molding?

Custom Plastic Molds injection molders design and manufacture customized molds and/or mold customized parts for customers, including small, medium and large batches. As one of the leading mold injection companies, WIT MOLD focuses on Custom Plastic Molds and can provide product designs according to your exact specifications and industry requirements.

Who invented injection molding?

The brothers Isaiah and John Wesley Hyatt, the American inventor and the first plastic injection molding manufacturers, applied for a patent for the first injection molding machine in 1872. Although its original design seems simple, this machine makes the manufacturing process extremely simple. It also serves as a prototype for the complex injection molding machine we are using now, because its principles are still the same.

Variables that affect custom injection molding cost?

Core metal

For shorter production cycles, some mold makers will use aluminum molds. If you don’t need molds for long-term operation, aluminum is a reasonable choice. However, if a project requires a mold to last for several years, in the long run, aluminum molds may cost more. Large quantities of precision molds are made of hardened steel. Steel can withstand the pressure of long-term production and operation while still meeting strict tolerance requirements. At WIT MOLD, we have many stainless steel molds that have been in production for decades.

Number of cavities

This is very intuitive when you think about it. The fewer cavities in the mold, the less tool work required, the less time, and the lower the final cost. Reputable and experienced molders will be able to maximize cavitation in the mold to maintain the highest level of productivity. Generally speaking, most moldmakers recommend creating a mold for each part, rather than creating a household mold. Family molds are designed with various cavities for various parts. They tend to produce inferior products and have more downtime due to maintenance issues.

Mould base

Think of the mold base as the housing that holds all the mold cavities, inserts, and components together. The cost of the base is estimated based on the size of the mold and the type of steel used to make the base and the customization required. Most mold bases have standard sizes and are further processed to meet the requirements of specific projects.

Core/cavity processing

All molds must also be customized. Customization includes the placement of cores, cavities, ejectors, cooling lines, etc. The steel used in the tool also affects the cost. Hardened steel molds have the longest service life and higher processing costs. However, once completed, their production life is very long.

Part complexity

Just as the number of cavities plays a role in determining mold cost, so does the complexity of parts. This complexity includes the surface finish of the final part and the number of undercuts required. Parts that require tight tolerances will also increase the complexity of the mold.
