Injection Moulding

What Is Plastic Injection Molding?
Plastic injection molding involves melting granular plastic pellets into a liquid form and then compressing this liquid into the empty cavity of a mold tool. The plastic will retain the shape of the mold as well as the surface texture of the walls of the cavity. After an optimized injection and cooling phase, the now solidified plastic part is ejected and the molding cycle is repeated. This molding cycle can take from as little as a few seconds to several minutes depending upon part size, molding resin and part design.
Rapid injection moulding allows us to make prototype injection moulded parts in a production thermoplastic resin. These parts may be used for final sign off, full functionality, fit testing and sales launches.

KBTOOLING Rapid is used to working on both low and medium volume production runs, depending on your project requirements. Through our many years of experience, we have achieved expertise in the rapid manufacture of aluminium and soft tool-steel tooling for production of high quality low to medium-volume parts. We can provide highly price-competitve solutions for low to medium-volume production requirements for your business.

  • Production volumes of 50 to 100,000 parts can be produced at a reasonable cost per piece.
  • All commercially available plastic materials are available.

We provide various kinds of surface finishing services, including plating, painting, silk screening, pad printing and hot stamp printing.

Design for Manufacture (DFM)

Design for Manufacture is a helpful tool that we can provide to our customers to help minimise tooling costs and to help expedite the manufacturing process.

We will provide you with a detailed report that contains important information about your part design and highlights any potential problem areas.

In addressing design issues early on, the DFM helps to eliminate costly re-tooling or delays in the manufacturing process caused by a problematic part design.

We also have the ability to provide mould flow analysis, which, when combined with the DFM, can save you money and ensure production in a timely manner.

Engineering and design services we provide:

  • Product Design Assistance
  • Design For Manufacture (DFM)
  • Mould Flow Analysis
  • Fully Detailed Mould Design

Plastic Injection Molding Service

At KBtooling, we specialize in high-quality custom plastic injection molding and mold tool making. Plastic injection molding is by far the industry’s most common way to manufacture plastic parts, especially when making larger quantities. We provide custom molding for 50 to 100,000+ injection molded parts as well as a wide range of other manufacturing and finishing services to complete your project. Contact our international injection molding team for a free quote and to talk about your next injection molding project.

Advantages Of Plastic Injection Molding

We have thousands of different types of plastic available for you to choose from, for a wide range of mechanical and cosmetic properties.
Plastic injection molding is great for larger volumes. For smaller volumes we might recommend other services like CNC machining, vacuum casting or 3D printing depending on the needs of your project.
Hundreds of thousands of parts can be produced from a single mold tool.
Your part can have excellent surface quality finishes in a wide range of polishes and textures.
Injection molding allows you to do overmolding to combine different types of plastic in one piece. It is ideal for lightweight parts that are immune to corrosion.
