6 Key Aspects of Plastic Injection Molding
As an experienced plastic injection molding company, TEAM Rapid built lots of molds in the past 10 years, our injection molding service helps customers from different industries including home & consumer application, automotive, medical, military etc to launch their projects. Here are a short list, 6 key aspects of plastic Injection Molding which we need to take into consideration.
6 Key Aspects that Impacting on Quality of Plastic Injection Molding
1. Cavity
The cavity is “A side” of the mold, which always refers to the appearance of your product. Texture, glossy, smooth are popular finishes applied on cavity for obtaining expected outer cosmetic appearance.
2.Core
This is also known as ”B side” of the mold. Typically, the geometries or features on core are invisible, they work as skeleton or supports for the part. It depends on the part’s function and assembly, the geometries on core might work as outer appearances in some cases.
3. Parting lines
A reasonable
4. Draft
Draft is designed to facilitate the ejection of the parts from the mold. Typically, all plastic components should be designed with draft where necessary. Without draft or a proper draft angle, the molding part usually come out with drag marks or even sticks on the cavity. As an experienced tool maker, TEAM Rapid always provides professional suggestions to our customer for selecting the corrected draft angle.
5. Gate
The mould for injecting plastic into the cavity, it can be removed after molding. Varied from the part size, geometries & quantities, we collect the part’s requirements then select the best gate type to meet the needs.
6. Shrinkage Rate
Ranging from 0.001-0.060 per inch, the rate at which the injected plastic will shrink once it is cooled.
