Precision Crafting: Plastic Injection Molding for Building Blocks

The Cornerstone of Manufacturing:

Plastic injection molding remains the quintessential method for mass-producing plastic parts across industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, and beverage bottling. Its affordability, efficiency, and versatility make it a cornerstone in the plastic manufacturing industry. Although the process can extend to materials like metals, plastics remain its primary domain.

Unveiling the Injection Molding Process:

Step 1: Part Design and Engineering

Our full-time engineers and contract engineers ensure that the part design and mold shape align seamlessly with your requirements.

Step 2: Mold Building

With designs finalized, it’s time to construct the mold. Molds, crafted from hardened steel （718/718H/316/S316/ect）,undergo two construction methods: CNC machining and electrical discharge machining (EDM). CNC machining, driven by computer precision, creates complex and accurate molds, while EDM, using controlled electrical sources, produces shapes unattainable by CNC alone. At Deluxe Plastics, we employ on-site CNC, EDM, and milling machinery for diverse mold-building needs.

Step 3: Clamping

Once the mold is ready, injection molding machines come into play. Clamping forces ranging from 5 to 4,000 tons secure the mold in place. Determining the appropriate tonnage is crucial, and our injection molding tonnage and clamping considerations guide provide insights into this decision-making process.

Step 4: Injection and Cooling

Heating the material until it’s pliable, injection molding machines then inject it into the mold at a controlled speed. After injection, the part cools within the mold, with proper cooling time being crucial to prevent defects and warping.

Step 5: Ejection

Post-cooling, the part undergoes ejection, facilitated by an ejection system. The mold opens, the part is pushed out, and the cycle begins anew.
