Creating a high-quality, reliable precision injection molded plastic part involves careful planning, prototyping, and testing. Although most part issues originate during the first steps of manufacture, they can be easily avoided from the outset by working with a trusted turnkey molding manufacturer, rather than a company that outsources their work.
These types of molding companies work with outside designers and then contract another company — often an offshore operation — to build the mold, essentially relinquishing control over operations in the process. Turnkey manufacturers, on the other hand, handle all steps under one roof, allowing for full oversight and ensuring accountability and quality.
Plastic injection molding allows for the production of precision parts at low costs, but high-volume molding processes require specialized part design. With the right design, consistently high-quality parts can be produced in bulk, avoiding expensive processing errors and delays.
Before beginning the injection molding design process, the following factors should be taken into account:
