However, like every manufacturing process, it has some drawbacks, and if they are critical to the success of your project, you may be better off researching alternate production methods such as 3D printing or CNC machining. In this article, we will go over the key benefits of injection molding and why it may be better for you to choose a different manufacturing technique. What are the benefits of injection molding? Efficient high output After you've created the molds, the procedure is incredibly quick, with cycle times as little as 10 seconds. It is ideal for medium and high-volume manufacturing runs ranging from 10,000 to well over 100,000 components, depending on the molds used. To enhance production rates, consider employing a multi-cavity or family mold, which produces many pieces from a single press. If you're outsourcing your molding, you should also consider an efficient front-end design and order procedure; check out our on-demand manufacturing. Low cost per component ...

Injection mold types typically seen include two-color mold, over-molding, and family mold. These molds are classified based on their individual properties and purposes, with each providing distinct advantages in the manufacturing process. Today, we will discuss three sorts of injection molds, which are classed based on the mold's structure. It is critical to realize that the mold structures we create for our clients are built on these three fundamental categories. Single-Parting Surface Injection Mold When the mold opens, the moveable and fixed molds separate, making it possible to remove the plastic portion. This is a single-parting surface mold, also called a two-plate mold. It is the most basic form of injection molding, adjustable as a single or multi-cavity mold. Double-Parting Surface Injection Mold The double-parting surface injection mold has two parting surfaces. In contrast to the single-parting surface mold, this kind adds a moveable middle plate to the fixed mold porti...
