Tooling Details for Injection Molding Projects
| Rapid Tooling | Molds with aluminum cavity and core with a shot life of 5,000 to 10,000 shots Typically machines in 2 weeks |
| Production Tooling | P20 steel tool with shot life up to 1 million shots Ability to integrate side-pulls or cam-actions Typically machined in 4 weeks |
| Multi cavity or Family molds | Multiple identical cavities or family of parts machined into a single tool Allows for more parts to be produced per shot, minimizing unit costs |
| Insert Molding | Inserts are placed into the mold and molding occurs around them to extend tool life for critical features Allows for inserts such as helicoils to be molded in your design |
| Overmolding | Premade parts are placed into the mold and molded over Allows for multi-material injection molding |
| Outsert Molding |
Materials Used in Injection Molding
Selection of the material used for your project depends on the application. The materials used when creating parts and products with injection molding vary in mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, and optical properties.
