Advantages of Molding for Manufacturing Plastic Parts

Molding is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes for producing plastic parts. The technology has been in use for long. In fact, molded parts are everywhere, impacting every aspect of life. From kitchen to healthcare, automotive to aviation, or name any other sector – they all use molded parts and products in some form. Even the bottles or any containers or storage boxes used at home are molded.  Manufacturers use China bottle cap mould or mold for manufacturing these parts cost-effectively, with ease. 

Nicety-Mould, a leader in mold making and molding industry, explains top advantages of using molding for manufacturing parts:

Complex geometry

If a company needs to manufacture parts that have complex geometry, they can use the technology to create the desired shape with detailed features. Injection molding is particularly used for this process to create highly complex parts that would otherwise have been really difficult to manufacture. However, molding allows creating such parts at higher accuracy with ease.  

Efficiency of production

Molding is known for offering higher efficiency in producing plastic parts and components. The molds for producing parts can be designed to the customer’s specifications using various available technologies. The mold can be single cavity or multi-cavity. Based on the production needs, different types of molding methods can be used to produce parts      with consistent quality at faster cycle.

Better strength

Injection molding allows using fillers to produce parts with enhanced strength. These fillers do two important things: reduce the density of the plastic during molding, and add more strength to the final part.

Save manufacturing costs

Molding has made manufacturing of plastic parts quick and affordable. With automation in the process, cost of production has reduced drastically. Molds like flip top cap mold can produce complex closure parts at higher accuracy without calling for secondary finishing touches.

Tooling: An Important Element in Moulding

Tooling is an important process that is used to create production parts in desired and accurate shapes and sizes. It may include different steps and types to meet various production demands at higher efficiency. For instance, stamping press tooling may have several things. It may include something like progressive, line, transfer and other dies that can be used for bending, cutting, coining and drawing. It can also be used for forming of other features on the part. Press tooling also allows the ability to perform other important tasks such as welding, fastening parts, or tapping holes. Tooling is also used for fabricating machinery such a punching machine, press brakes, which are available in different formats to suit many types of machines and perform numerous tasks including, cutting and shaping. Tooling shaping parts   is quite common in molding and manufacturing industries. Tooling for plastic injection molding Plastic injection molding industry uses tooling for assemb...

Insert Molding Machining: Different Methods

Image
Insert molding is a great process to fabricate a variety of products for industrial applications. There are different methods of the process and thus insert molding is of different types. Insert injection molding is a process that requires encapsulating a previously fabricated product in molten resin to produce the finished product. The inserted component is simple; an object such as a knife blade or a surgical tube, but it may also include complex products such as motor or battery. It basically includes plastic insert molding and it is ideal for improving the strength and reliability of a component. The process is cost-effective and also reduces production time by avoiding the need for secondary processes such as soldering, connecting, adhesion, etc. Based on the type, manufacturers can have different mold inserts machining requirements to complete their production demands. Overmolding is also a type of molding, but is a two-step process in which a plastic layer is molded ov...

Blow molding (or moulding) is a manufacturing process for forming and joining together hollow plastic parts. It is also used for forming glass bottles or other hollow shapes. In general, there are three main types of blow molding extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, and injection stretch blow molding. The blow molding process begins with melting down the plastic and forming it into a parison or, in the case of injection and injection stretch blow molding (ISB), perform. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end through which compressed air can pass. The parison is then clamped into a mold and air is blown into it. The air pressure then pushes the plastic out to match the mold. Once the plastic has cooled and hardened the mold opens up and the part is ejected. Water channels are carved into the mold to assist in cooling. The first mass production of plastic bottles was done in America in 1939. Germany started using this technology a little bit later, ...
