plastic mould and custom injection moulding tips

China Injection Mold Cost Many buyers who purchase injection molds from China are solely focused on saving money . However, this isn’t the right attitude to take, since you’ll ultimately want a mold that works properly and is reliable, instead of just being cheap. How much a plastic mold tool will cost is dependent on several different factors. You should, therefore, request the  information when getting a quote. The checklist below details the various areas of interest that you need to consider when purchasing a mold: How many check dimensions are required on the print- this will determine the cavity complexity, as well as the part tolerances Surface finishes which will be necessary Number of necessary tight tolerances and their requirements Any required functions in mold operating, such as unscrewing or lifters. Balanced cooling requirements- these can  determine  tolerances. Part resin Number of cavities in the part, determined by tolerances and ...

The gas-assisted injection molding system directly injects inert gas (usually nitrogen) into the melt plastic in the mold cavity through the sectional pressure control system, which makes the plastic part expand and cause hollowness, but still keeps the shape of the product surface. Gas-assisted injection molding can be regarded as a variant of hollow blow molding. The process of gas-assisted injection molding is to inject an accurately measured plastic melt which accounts for a certain proportion of the mold cavity. This process is called "short-shot-injection molding", and then directly inject a certain volume and pressure of high-pressure nitrogen into the molten plastic, and the gas diffuses along the direction of minimum resistance surrounded by the plastic melt. Because the plastic temperature near the mold wall is low and viscosity is high, while the plastic melt in the center of the thicker part is of high temperature and of low viscosity, the gas can easily penetrate...
