Trends Impacting the Molding Industry

Plastic injection molding is one of the most dynamically evolving industries of this time. Offering versatility along with an ease of production, plastic injection molding has changed the way manufacturing industries used to operate. This transformation has also impacted the way other industries (that rely on molded products) perform.

Impact has also been observed during this period of COVID-19 pandemic when the demands for sanitizers, disinfectants and products for cleanliness and hygiene have surged suddenly. Molding has an indirect role in meeting the increased demands. While the chemical processing is the responsibility of the sanitizer and disinfectant manufacturers, the supply of plastic bottles with the desired cap has been managed well by the molding industry.  Manufacturers involved in the designing and production of disinfectant cap mould and bottle molds have also worked hard to help meet the crisis and ensure a good supply of disinfectants to the consumers.

Other trends which have a direct impact on molding are:

Replacement Of Metal Parts With Plastic

Several reasons such as cost, durability, rust, reusability and weight have a direct influence on the choices that industries make. Therefore, plastic parts remain their top choice when considering all those factors mentioned above. Because of the benefits that plastic parts offer, businesses are now busy replacing metal with plastic parts.

Product Design To Ease Manufacturing Process

Integrated product design and manufacturing can have several advantages. While increasing the production of quality parts and decreasing costs, it can benefit businesses. Therefore, design teams are working directly with manufacturers to ensure molds meet the design requirements. Furthermore, it allows the production of parts at reduced costs and higher efficiency.  China blow mould is leading the global manufacturing industry when it comes to plastic parts production.

Nicety-Mould, pioneer in designing, tooling and engineering of molds and mold parts, offers quality solutions to manufacturers to keep up with the trends.

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...

Machining Of Mold Inserts and Dies

Image
Molding is a quite profitable process for manufacturing industries when it comes to creating parts of various shapes and designs. The method ensures an efficient production along with bulk product creation and high accuracy. The machining of molds, dies and housing depends on various factors such as shape, design, dimensions, tolerance, various parts, die and mold materials, and also the sequence of production. Industries have their own needs of dies and molds. Plastic industry uses injection molding, extrusion, hot pressing or blow molding. Dies are intended for casting and forging. Dies allow the production of parts made of sheet metal by the methods of bending, sheering or drawing. Dies and molds are also essential for powder metallurgy manufacturing. Die and mold materials depend on the product design, product material, and also the production method. For instance, molds for creating plastic parts are usually made of stainless steel, steel or aluminum. In some cases, half mold ma...
