Why Injection Molded Prototypes are needed?

Molded Prototyped act a crucial role in product development and short-run production, 
When your product development projects are 95% likely to succeed, full fuctional testing and validation of moldability and tooling is very necessery before mass production, Design flaws that are not visible in a 3D model, Creating an injection molded prototype will help you to avoid some of the following typical problems before mass production:

1, Non-uniform or Excessive Wall Thickness and other design flaws
2, Material Shrinkage, Warp, and Critical Dimensions
3, Mold design,Incorrect Gate Type or Placement
4, The resin flowability and properities of the plastic materials


How about our molded prototypes?
 
Focusing on the prototype injection molding for more than 20 years, We have rich experience in the fabrication of prototype injection mold and the molded prototypes manufacturing.

Our molded prototypes are made in the same condition as mass production, and the accuracy of our injection-molded prototypes are almost the same as mass-produced parts.
The prototype injection molds that we use to produce the prototypes are typically made in aluminum or brass, These metal is softer and can be machined more quickly, cost-ffectively and efficiently. 

With high dimensional accuracy, our molded prototypes can help our customers do exact validation before mass production; With the advantage of low-cost and short development cycle, Our prototype injection molding is also suitable for small-volume injection molding.

How many types of plastic moulding are there?

How many types of plastic moulding are there? Roughly there are 5 types of the plastic moulding, they are extrusion moulding, compression moulding, blow moulding, injection moulding and rotational moulding. Base on different shape and design of a parts, you can decide which one will be the most effective for you to use. 1. Extrusion Moulding 2. Compression Moulding 3. Blow Moulding 4. Injection Moulding 5. Rotational Moulding 1. Extrusion Moulding: This process is used to create long, continuous shapes such as pipes, tubing, and sheets. It involves forcing molten plastic through a die to create the desired shape. 2. Compression Moulding: This method is suitable for producing large, intricate parts with high strength and durability. It involves placing a heated plastic material into a mold and compressing it with a hydraulic press to form the desired shape. 3. Blow Moulding: This process is commonly used to produce hollow objects such as bottles and containers. It involves blowing air into a heated plastic tube to expand it into the shape of the mold. 4. Injection Moulding: This is one of the most widely used plastic moulding processes for producing a variety of complex parts with high precision. It involves injecting molten plastic into a mold under high pressure to form the final product. 5. Rotational Moulding: This method is ideal for producing large, hollow parts such as tanks, containers, and playground equipment. It involves rotating a mold with the plastic material inside a heated oven to evenly coat the interior of the mold and form the desired shape.
