Injection Molding
The injection molding process uses plastic pellets
or granules. The material is heated until a melt is
obtained. The melted material is then injected into
a split-die mold where it is allowed to cool and harden
into the desired shape. Once hardened, the mold is
opened and the part is ejected, at which time the
cycle is repeated. Injection molding has a valuable
place in plastics manufacturing. However, there are
drawbacks and many situations in which thermoforming
is a better solution.
For its flexibility in tooling and engineering and
fast set-up and production of custom
plastic enclosures – especially prototypes
and large parts – thermoforming is commonly
selected over injection molding. Clients routinely
tell us that, after calling other thermoforming companies,
ThermoFab truly offers volume options in the dozens
to thousands - with the fastest
turnaround.
But even here, at ThermoFab, injection molding has
a place. Our injection molded internal components
enhance the design
appearance of your pressure formed assembly. The Milacron
RoboShot 110 Ton Machine creates a Performance
Under PressureSM manufacturing system which produces
internal attachment components for pressure
formed assemblies - - such as rectangular or cylindrical
bosses. This system allows ThermoFab to create products
in the time to market push that our clients require.
ThermoFab can convert your 3D
injection files to finished parts in
4-6 weeks! Part volumes for production runs in the
dozens to thousands are perfect for the ThermoFab
modular interchangeable system which uses UL 94-5V
fire rated materials.
