Molding Services
We offer an array of molding services with thermoplastics, thermosets, and other resins. Molding is ideal for high volume production where per-part cost, cycle time, and consistency are priorities.
Our Services
-
This traditional form of injection molding works by forcing a hot molten plastic into a sealed mold cavity at high pressures. This hot plastic quickly fills the mold before solidifying into a solid part.
Thermoplastic injection molding offers fast cycle times, fantastic scaling with volume, a wide range of material properties, and the ability to over-mold various types of hardware into parts.
We have in-house equipment capable of injection molding parts up to 5 cuibic inches of volume in plastics such as ABS, TPU, PET, PP, PC, and more. We also work with a variety of mold materials ranging from resin 3D printed (for cost effective low volume production) to Aluminum and Tool Steel. -
A modified form of injection molding works by forcing a liquid thermoset plastic into a sealed mold cavity at low pressure. This liquid thermoset flows to fill large and irregular mold cavities before solidifying into a solid part.
Thermoset injection molding offers lower upfront cost, good surface finish, and a wide range of material properties.
We have in-house equipment capable of injection molding thermoset parts over 200 cuibic inches of volume in Urethane, Silicone, and Phenolic resins. We also work with a variety of mold materials ranging from resin 3D printed (for cost effective low volume production) to Aluminum and Tool Steel. -
Thermoforming is a process that uses a combination of heat, pressure, and tooling to form thin sheets of plastic into a shape.
Thermoforming is ideal for large constant thickness parts, as it allows production of these parts with cost effective tooling combined with sheets of commonly available plastics
We have in-house equipment capable of Thermoforming plastics such as ABS, PET, HDPE, PP, and more. We produce our tooling from high temperature 3D printed parts, CNC machined metal, and several other sources. -
Compression molding is a process that works by squeezing a charge of material between two or more mold halves at high pressure. This squeezes the material to fill gaps in the mold cavity before the material is cooled or cured (depending on thermoplastic or thermoset behavior)..
Compression molding is ideal for parts that need to be produced without sprue geometry or flashing, as there is no injection point in the mold. It is also ideal for pre-preg composite materials like Phenolic based carbon fiber.
We have in-house equipment capable of compression molding a wide range of materials and sizes.
