Injection Mold Design
MOLD DESIGN
- We are capable of transforming complex product designs to precision plastic parts using advanced computer aided design software. Our sophisticated mold designs are capable of producing plastics products that meet the requirements of the most stringent customers.
- Complex plastic parts can be perfectly optimized for an application. Achieving that optimization requires a deep understanding of the processes and the materials. Our experts are intimately familiar with different types of molds and molding.

Mold Design and Tooling for Injection Molding
Injection molding is a high-precision manufacturing process that injects molten plastic into a carefully designed mold, where the plastic cools and hardens into the specified part or product. The piece is then ejected from the mold, either as the final product or as a near-final product that is sent on for secondary finishing.
Designing the mold and its various components (referred to as tooling) represents a highly technical and often complex process that requires high precision and scientific know-how to produce top-quality parts with tight dimensions. For example, the proper grade of steel must be selected so components that run together do not wear out prematurely. Steel hardness must also be determined to maintain the proper balance between wear and toughness. Waterlines must be well-placed to maximize cooling and minimize warping. Tooling engineers also need to calculate gate/runner sizing specifications for proper filling and minimal cycle times, as well as determining the best shut-off methods for tooling durability over the life of the program.
