Manufacturing

Multi Shot (Two Shot):

Combines multiple materials injected in the same mold to form a single part.

Benefits:

  • Elimination of assembly operations
  • Reduction of potential quality defects
  • Time and Cost savings opportunities

Insert Molding:

Plastic is injected into the mold around an insert, that has been placed in the tool prior to injection.
 
Benefits:
 
  • Elimination of assembly operations
  • Reduction of potential quality defects
  • Time and Cost savings opportunities

Gas Assist Molding:

A process that utilizes an inert gas to create one or more hollow channels within an injection-molded plastic part.
 
Benefits
 
  • Material savings (weight, cost) for thick-walled parts up to 40%
  • Cycle times may be reduced by 50% or more when compared to standard injection molding of thick-walled parts
  • High flexural stiffness and tensional rigidity
  • Low internal stress level and low warpage for thick and thin wall combinations (uniform shrinkage and pressure)
  • Reduction of sink marks
  • Smooth surface in comparison with structural foam
  • Design freedom
  • Fewer weld lines due to fewer injection points.

In-House Tooling Capabilities

  • Full service tooling capability
  • High tolerance/high detail injection molds
  • Ability to produce prototype/production tooling up to 1,000 ton molding capacity

Additional area of support:

  • SLA, model, pattern, epoxy, Aluminum tooling
  • Assembly, attribute, CMM holding/check
  • Pressure decay, force, load and color match
