Plastic Molding Capabilities
Injection Molding
Injection molding produces thousands of identical parts quickly, cost-effectively and with repeatable accuracy. Molten thermoplastic is injected into a mould under pressure, then cooled and solidified to form the final part.
Thermoforming
Thermoforming is a low-cost alternative. It shapes heated plastic sheets over a mould using vacuum or pressure. This method works well for producing anything from trays to large panels in lower volumes and with simpler tooling.
Compression Molding
Compression molding uses heat and pressure to shape plastic inside a mould cavity. It is often used with thermoset materials such as phenolic resins, BMC, and SMC. The result is a strong, durable part built to handle demanding applications.
Other Molding Techniques
Other common methods include blow molding (for hollow parts), insert molding (which combines metal or plastic inserts for added functionality), and prototype molding (using soft tooling for testing parts before full production).
What Is Plastic Molding?
Plastic molding shapes thermoset materials into finished parts using heat and pressure. All molding processes rely on a combination of temperature, force, and tooling to form parts with precision and consistency.
Among the most common techniques, includes. Injection molding, which pushes molten plastic into a mold to produce high volumes of detailed parts. Thermoforming heats a plastic sheet and shapes it over a mold. Compression molding uses heat and pressure to form solid, strong parts, and blow molding that makes hollow items by inflating plastic with air.
Plastic molding is an ideal choice when you need to balance cost, durability, and precision.
