We offer rapid prototyping and low volume injection moulding services. Think of rapid injection moulding as end-use prototype manufacturing.
Overmoulding
Overmoulding is a unique injection moulding process that combines two or more components together. It is the best practice for the production of multi-color and multi-layers products.
Insert Moulding
Insert Molding is an injection molding process that encapsulates components in a plastic part. It is most commonly used for designs with threads and holes.
Rapid Tooling and Plastic Injection Moulding Services
Injection moulding is our top choice for producing low-volume plastic parts. Thanks to its high-precision, repeatability, and cost efficiency at scale, our plastic injection moulding services have been used to make a variety of parts from the smallest medical insert up to large automotive & aerospace parts.
Injection Moulding vs Vacuum Casting Vacuum (urethane) casting offers a lower front-end cost with a higher unit price, while injection moulding demands a higher front-end cost, but a significantly lower unit price. With higher volume production runs, you will simply not see the same ROI with vacuum casting than you will with injection moulding.
Rapid Injection Moulding is Used For Producing low-volume (up to 100,000) quality production parts and prototypes from real materials. Rapid injection moulding is used for prototyping, bridging and low volume production run parts in less time and a reduced cost than full production mould.
Injection moulding is a mature manufacturing process that allows for plastic parts to be produced in large volumes. The process involves melting plastic pellets that once malleable enough, are injected at pressure into a mould cavity, which fills and solidifies to produce the final product.
What is rapid injection moulding?
Rapid injection moulding is the process of making injection moulds for prototyping, bridging, and short production run parts in less time and a reduced cost than full production moulds.
How much does injection moulding cost?
Mould Cost: Typically, the tooling costs is between $2,000 – $10,000. However, depending on the complexity of the project, type of tool, and other factors, it can go well over $10,000.
Part Cost: The unit cost is what makes the initial investment in injection mould tools worthwhile. You can expect the cost per unit to range between a few pennies to a few dollars.
How long does an injection mould last?
Injection mould tools can last between 100 to over 100,000 and even 1M+ cycles. The life span of an injection mould depends on the mould material, mould structure design, maintenance, time between production runs and operating conditions.
Which industries use plastic injection moulding?
Injection moulding is one of the most popular and versatile manufacturing technologies for producing mid-to-high volumes of plastic parts. It is widely used in many industries, including:
