Do I need Plastic Injection Moulding?

Plastic Injection moulding is the preferred manufacturing process when you want hundreds or thousands of the same plastic part. The process involves heating up small plastic beads, usually to a liquid or near liquid state, and injecting it under pressure into the cavity of a metal mould. After you have finalised the design of the plastic part you want to make, the first step in getting the part injection moulded is to build the mould.

The building of a mould requires great precision using specialist design software(CAD CAM) and metal working equipment. Mould costs vary depending on, the price depending on:

• the size of the mould
• the number of cavities in the mould
• the material the mould is made from
• the texture of the finish required on the moulded article
• the complexity of the part; among other factors
