Injection Molding

Plastic injection moulding and mould production

Efficient Plastic Part Production Using Custom Molds. We Support The Entire Process From Tooling
To Low-Volume Production With Consistency And Speed.

Excellent Repeatability And Broad Material Compatibility For Various Applications.

Specialize in the injection moulding of small series. For large batches, we use the standard mould process.Get custom plastic parts within days. Request an ontime quote.

Plastic Molding Capabilities

We use moulding materials such as epoxy and polyester, which are filled with metal, quartz sand and other fillers.

Application

Large Automobile Mold

We also use low/medium melting point alloys to produce simple structural moulds. This type of mould has a simple manufacturing process, a short cycle and a low price. This is ideal for small and medium batches. Quantities from 500 to 5,000 parts can be produced with single or multiple cavities. We also offer polishing and texturing for the surface of the moulds.

Component finishing

• Polishing
  Polishing is used to reduce the surface roughness and to obtain a smooth, mirror-like surface.
• Laser engraving
  A surface treatment process based on optical principles.
• Texturing
  Is a surface treatment of moulds which improves the beauty and strength of the surface.
• Pad printing
  A printing process in which text, graphics and images are applied to irregularly shaped surfaces.
• Individual colour coating
  The use of an air pressure gun enables the colourant to be applied evenly and efficiently to the surface to be treated.
• Screen printing
  The screen printing process is the method of choice in advertising technology and labelling, in textile and ceramic printing, for high-quality effect finishes and in industrial printing.
• Heat treatment
  Heat treatment results in a change in the chemical composition and structure in the solid state.

Our basic guidelines for plastic injection molding include important design considerations to help improve part moldability, enhance cosmetic appearance, and reduce overall production time.

Tolerances: Typically, Protolabs can maintain a machining tolerance of +/- 0.003 in. (0.08mm) with an included resin tolerance that can be greater than but no less than +/- 0.002 in./in. (0.002mm/mm).

Surface Finish Options

Draft angle requirements will vary by requested finish. Industry standard Mold-Tech finishes are also available.
