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
