Plastic Molding Services

The details of the design in a large part determines the cycle time of the machine. The cycle time is the amount of time it takes from the time a part is ejected from the machine to the time the next part ejects. Smaller parts plastic require less "fill time", the time it takes for the machine to push the melted resin into the mold, and thinner part walls cool faster reducing the "hold time". The customer is charged a set up fee which pays for installing the mold into the injection molding machine, and getting it ready to mold parts. Typically it runs a couple of hundred dollars and depends on things like how big the mold is and which accessories will be needed etc.

High volume injection molding capabilities and precision tool makers in their China Factory allow us to provide quick-turn service on medium to high volume orders, where they build dedicated long-run production molds. The company specializes in high volume plastics injection molding custom plastics jobs. High-end second-op machining is also available. Their PVC and plastic injection molding factories in China manufacture very high quality products that are extremely cost effective. Their warehousing and distribution facility in Austin, Texas also allows them to service custom injection molding projects in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and other cities across the country very easily.

About 2 years ago I purchased a tool set. It came with a wonderful set of tools, but a really low end, thin and hollow plastic injection molding case that belies the namesake and tradition. Needless to say, the case finally gave up the ghost this past week. I began shopping for a replacement tool box for the old set that has since grown to over 200 pieces. Wanting some level of organization that is needed on the trail while off roading, the plastic tool box intrigued me due to its thick plastic construction and it's similarity to a larger tool chest with extendable drawers. Its size and depth allowed me to place it in the same spot as where I held the old plastic injection molding molding case services in my truck.

The wonderful thing about plastic injection molding is the low cost of the parts being produced when you need a large volume of parts. The downside is the cost of injection molding tooling. The toolings, or the molds, range in price anywhere from $2000 for a simple one, to over a hundred thousand dollars for a big and complex injection mold. The way the injection molders figured out how much to charge per part was to weigh the part complete with runner to determine how much plastic resin is used for each part. The size of the part determines what size injection molding machine must be used, and how big the mold is etc.
