About Plastic Molding Services

Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding (includes injection blow molding), rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others. They also provide services such as mold prototyping, low-volume production, high-volume production, insert molding, micro-molding, large-part molding, two-shot injection molding, reel-to-reel molding, machining, hot stamping, assembly, bonding, packaging and shipping. Most low-volume production runs have a run time of less than one week. High-volume production runs require more time. Machining involves the removal of material through milling, drilling, turning, or other processes. Micro-molding services use special, miniaturized molding machines to produce very small parts that typically weight less than two grams. Two-shot injection molding services produce part from two different raw materials or colors in a single operation. Plastic molding services that perform assembly operations can perform ultrasonic and heat welding, printing, painting, bonding, and machining operations.
