rocess will be the same,The making a custom plastic molds involves a series of steps listed below, this is only A general procedure.

  1. Part design and mold structure analysis, then come to mold design process by using AUTOCAD or UG software.
  2. Mold manufacturing by using CNC,EDM, wire-cut, milling,polishing process and so on.
  3. Mold fitting and assembling the mold. Up to this step, the most important job has been done. A mold has been made.
  4. Mold trial process: Introduction of the plastic material in the heated chamber. The plastic material is mainly in the form of pellets which are liquefied by the high temperatures in the chamber.
  5. The liquefied material is allowed to flow into the mold that is used to make the plastic molding parts. It is commonly referred to as the shot.
  6. The material is allowed to cool and solidify while in the injection mold. Temperature can be regulated by using of cold water pipes or oil pipes. This is to cool or lower the temperatures to facilitate faster cooling of the molds.
  7. The plastic molding parts are then forced out of the mould once they fully solidify, the mold closes and the process is repeated, this repeated processing we called massive production.

The future of plastic molding

  Plastic molding is advancing over the years. The thinnest materials that the first injection molding machine could make were about 2.5 mm and the capacities of the discs was less than 1 GB. With advancement in technology, molds being made today can be as thin as 0.5 mm and can

hold 20 GB. Today, many molding companies are specializing in the production of particular parts in order to increase the quality of molds being produced. The increased number of companies in the business of plastic molding are increasing. This is expected to result in a drop in the prices of plastic molds in the future. It is also anticipated that companies will start using non-plastic materials for making molds in several years to come.

Plastic Injection Molding

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 molded 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 easy 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 it’s 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 molded case in my truck.

Plastic Injection molding is preferred for producing complex shapes of various sizes having very fine details. The parts produced by using this method have greater dimensional control. Plastic Injection molding is used for producing parts in large quantities. Plastic molding is widely used for many applications. When you design parts for plastic injection molding, you can arrange multiple pieces in one mold by connecting them with small bars ~0.1″, however the sub-components must not have widely varying volumes. When the design does not allow for additional structures to improve strength, consider using a stronger material, such as glass fiber filled plastic. Consider specifying a fire retardant material when necessary.

Nowadays, liquid injection molding is becoming increasingly important. One reason for this is the increased performance requirements of the finished rubber parts. In addition, more and more producers of rubber parts are seeing the benefits in crown the high level of automation and productivity. Injection molding technology, using liquid rubber, combines the speed, cost efficiency, and versatility of plastic injection molding with the outstanding properties of silicone rubber. It is used in many applications where organic rubber cannot perform, such as military, aerospace, automotive, healthcare applications, etc. The use of silicone rubber combines the properties of resilience, high temperature stability and inertness as silicone is generally unaffected by temperatures from 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Progress in liquid injection molding technology has made faster cures possible, enabling unit cost reductions.

The Plastic injection molding machine has two parts: the injection unit which melts the plastic and injects the plastic molding into the mold, and the clamping unit easy which holds the mold. The injection molding unit clamps the mold in a closed position during injection, opens the mold after cooling, and ejects the finished part. Injection molding’s efficiency varies by the number of parts you plan to produce. For a small quantity, such as 10 parts, it may be less expensive to simply machine the desired part utilizing a milling machine. On the other hand, if you desire several thousand parts, injection molding is ideal. When you submit your order for an injection molding parts, the websites will assign staff to help evaluate the most appropriate mold material which will vary by part tolerance and number of units anticipated.

Over Molding

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Overmolding and over molding

Over-mold injection molding , th eprocess is the same as insert molding, where an existing component is loaded into a mold and plastic is molded around it to create a multi-material single part. Insert-molding is most synonymous with combining metal components with plastic in such products as electrical pin connectors. When the term over-molding is used, the metal component is simply replaced with a previously molded plastic part. Single-shot injection molding machines are used to produce both the plastic component and the over-molded plastic. Tooling for injection over-mold injection molding requires two molds; one for the plastic component and one for the over-mold. Over-mold injection molding requires labor to handle the plastic component and load it into the second mold. Over-molding is generally reserved for higher priced parts that can absorb higher machine time and labor costs.

If you are planning to go into a plastic molding business, you should first know the different processes. Choose from a plastic molding process that fits your budget, your expertise, and your resources. In Injection Molding, melted plastic is forced into a mold cavity. Once cooled, the mold can be removed. This plastic molding process is commonly used in mass-production or prototyping of a product. Injection molding machines were made in the 1930’s. This can be used to mass produce toys, kitchen utensils, bottle caps, and cell phone stands to name a few. Plastic molding is a very technical process. It needs experts in this type of manufacturing business for it to be competitive in the market. Therefore, a very scientific and systematic study should be first made before going into this endeavor.

Injection molding is an effective way to make custom parts. Granules of plastic are melted down and then injected into a metal mold; there the molten plastic hardens into a designated shape. Then you open the mold and a new part is removed, inspected and is ready to go. Injection molding is an incredibly versatile form of molding plastics. As with everything, injection molding has its ups and down so it is important that the ends justify the means for your project needs. There are three main components in the injection molding process. The injection apparatus itself which melts and then transmits the plastic, the mold, which is custom designed, and clamping to provide controlled pressure.

Thermoplastic injection molding is molding the most widely used of all plastic processing methods. The injection molding machine reduces pelletized raw material and colorants into a hot liquid. This “melt” is forced into a cooled mold under tremendous pressure. After the material solidifies, the mold is unclamped and a finished part is ejected. Injection molding offers the lowest piece prices available, but tooling prices are generally the highest. Thermoset injection molding is similar to thermoplastic injection molding except that uncured thermoset resins are mixed, injected, and held in the mold until cured. As with thermoplastic molding, the price per piece can be low, but the tooling prices are generally very high.

Purchasing the box, some assorted socket rails, and some additional clips for the socket rails, I took the box home with me to see how well it would stand up as a replacement. The box is quite simple in construction. It’s a plastic injection molded case made of a very thick plastic. The case consists of a flip open lid (with two latches that are padlock compatible) covering a deep top storage area, and three drawers that are very similar to the large rolling tool chests that many professionals and advanced amateur home mechanics have in their garages. When you flip the lid open, the lid will immediately release the latching mechanism for the three drawers. Unfortunately, the lid does not contain any hinges or tethering that prevent it from flopping open and hitting itself on the back of the tool box. This was my only gripe involving the tool box.

Used Injection Molding Machines

There are constantly new techniques and new technology in the industrial world of injection molding. New machines, new plastics, new equipment. There are some companies that keep up with other companies by buying a lot of expensive equipment the second it comes out.

But these are the companies that cost so much because they have to charge more to pay for the price of the new equipment they just bought. But then you have the companies that like to keep using used machinery because they are just as good as new and as the old saying goes if it isn’t broke don’t fix it. Not every company wants to be the fancy company with all new machines.

Some companies want to just be known as the company that did my job in the most outstanding way. They want the recognition for a job well done rather than for the company who spend a lot of money on a piece of new machinery.

Companies that keep using used machinery don’t have to increase their prices and customers like to see that and they will keep coming back to the company that does great work for a great price.

Custom Injection Molding Jobs

In the industry of injection molding, things work on a very specific scale. The molds must be right, the specifications must be right. That is true for the molds that are already designed. When a company wants and needs brand new design molds the process must be handled very delicately.

When an plastic molding company gets contracted by a new company to design and fill molds. The company needing the molds must be very accurate and very specific when it comes down to doing a custom job. One slight imperfection and the whole project could be worthless. Time is money and that is not something that either can afford to be wasted.

The injection molding process is a specific one, there are certain stages and certain things that have to be done and if your design has a flaw in it then there are going to be set backs. When a mold comes out after it hardens, it looks great a little rough around the edges, but it looks what it is supposed to.

Molding produces great products and there is a science to the skill in making the molds and producing the injection molds. If you are a company who is looking for a custom design, make sure the specs and designs are not flawed and you will get an unbelievable product.

Injection Molding Machines

One type of injection molding machine is the Milacron LIM, Liquid Injection Molding; there are many benefits in having this machine over the traditional LIM. This machine has its own controls and especially made soft ware for this product only. It has a low pressure set up for injection setup and it has a closed loop control.

Unlike the traditional LIM this machine has an increased power ejector force, so it can inject the mold quicker. It has a standard injection screw, a cooling plate on both sides, eight new pneumatic valves, and two heat zones on each paten, a 3-stage air ejector. The improvements from the standard LIM also include a revised rear seal on the injector screw and also a revised seal that is on the nozzle.

These machines have a thermo set process that uses a silicone rubber material that is used to be injected into the heat plastic molds. The best part about these Milacron machines is that no other machine can use their software is designed just for their machines and no one else’s. The Milacron also has a complete design line of Fluid Auto meter mixers.

Milacron is one of the best in the business of injection molding and if your company needs to replace a machine, consider this one, it is one of the best.

Injection Molds

The designs of the injection molds are predetermined by whose company is requesting the parts. A lot of thought has to be put into making the molds, the molds have to be designed so that the molds don’t get stuck inside the mold and ruin the piece. The molds are designed that when the resin (hard plastic) is complete that the mold can be taken out and polished to be the piece that the mold was designed for.

If any air gets into the plastic molds or any kind of condensation the mold could get ruined and must be done again. This is not very productive, so the molds must be made to the exact specifications. The molds come in tow parts called the core and the cavity, the core is the middle of the mold and the cavity will encase the core when the mold is complete. Each part must be removed with care, any imperfection and the mold has to be tossed out.

There are molds that they are considered easy and then they have what they call the more complex molds. Some molds are very complex that they have different parts to them such as slides as well as a core and a cavity. Remember, you can create a car door with injection molding so you have to know that the mold for that is going to be very complex.

When you get a mold that is very heavy, the core and the cavity in conjunction with cooling hoses working together they form a molding tool. Sometimes when the tools are heavy they have to be lifted into the molding machine. When the tool needs to be cleaned or maintained they can hoist it back out again. So far, these are the basics of injection molds.

Injection Molding Glossary

Injection Molding: this is a technique used to fabricate parts made from thermoplastic materials.

Thermoplastic materials: are materials made out of plastic that are able to melt into a liquid when heated at a high enough heat and when it freezes it will be in a glassy state when it is cooled.

Polystyrene is a polymer that is a liquid hydrocarbon that is commercially made from petroleum.

Polypropylene is a very hard plastic that is used for many different uses such as food packaging, reusable containers and textiles. It is a very durable and rugged unusually.

Resin is comes from many plants especially from the Coniferous tree that is used for its chemicals. You can use resin for adhesives and incense and some perfumes.

Solidify is to become hard or firm.

Pellet is a small compressed piece of material or a substance.

Nylon is a chemically resistant, it is also heat resistant, but it is tough and very flexible.

Injection Molding Questions and Answers

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Here are some frequently asked questions when there are problems in the process of injection molding, here some of the most popular ones and their solutions.

What happens when the molds are brittle and delaminate? The cause may be an improper injection screw. The screw that is used for molding at a low-pressure ratio fro the amount of resin being used; causes the plastic’s molecules to form incorrectly. Basically, a weak molecular structure can cause brittle parts. When this happens de lamination can occur as well. The result will be a to take a pressure reading and record the ratio. This should be performed once every six months.

Another problem may be discoloration; the possible cause for this may be excessive dwell time or what they call residence time. When a part has been discolored or changed the problem is usually found in the residence time. The material stays in the barrel too long, the base will become discolored. What can be done is the heat sensitive materials have to be set at a certain ration. After every injection shot clean out the barrel.

Discoloration may also be caused by an improper plastic mold temp. The hotter the mold is it will keep the material melted for a longer period of time. The temp of the mold should be adjusted to the supplier’s specs on material and cycle times.
