Injection molding is one of the most popular approaches to plastic product design in Utah, and for a good reason. If you’re planning on a large enough scale of production, injection molding offers enormous benefits. First, the production costs associated with injection molding are much lower than alternative plastic design methods. Second, the process produces fewer scraps than traditional manufacturing, which is good for the environment and lowers your costs. Finally, injection molding is terrific because you would be hard pressed to find a method of plastic forming that’s more versatile. Of course, if you want to make the most of the injection molding process, you’ll have to correctly design your part. How does injection molding work? To get an... View Article

Injection molding is another type of plastic fabrication that can be used to create parts and products. This versatile fabrication process can be used to mass produce items, whether you need hundreds or millions of pieces at a time. Choosing the right plastic fabrication method is key to the success of your project. Read on to find out more about the capabilities of plastic injection molding in Utah. What is injection molding? Injection molding uses melted resin or liquid polymers to fill a steel or aluminum mold. The plastic components are heated until they’re molten, then they’re injected into a mold with great force. The melted plastic fills the mold, then hardens as it cools. When the molds are cool... View Article

Injection molding is one of the processes most commonly used in the development of plastic parts for a wide variety of applications. Before the process starts, you must first develop a mold that will be used for the creation of your parts. The mold features both a core and a cavity. Once you’ve got a mold built, it gets loaded into an injection molding machine, at which point the process begins. There’s a hopper that contains thermoplastic pellets that get sent through the machine’s barrel, and friction between the rotating screw and the barrel results in the pellets melting. Then, electric or hydraulic toggles close the mold halves and then push them together with a massive amount of pressure. After... View Article
