Customized Plastic Injection Molding Services

Rapid Tooling

Rapid Tooling

Our team uses rapid tooling to bridge the gap between prototype and production. With deep engineering know-how and speed-driven execution, we deliver high-quality molds fast. This approach enables you to test and validate early, which directly reduces costs, minimizes risks, and accelerates market entry.

Over-Molding

Over-Molding

We specialize in over-molding by combining advanced techniques with a solid understanding of material behavior. Our engineers layer different materials smoothly, improving grip, comfort, and product life. From design to finish, we ensure every part meets both function and aesthetic in one clean process.

Insert Molding

Insert Molding

With years of hands-on experience, our team molds plastic around inserts like metals or electronics with high precision. Insert molding improves part strength and reduces assembly steps. We focus on tight tolerances, durability, and performance, making it ideal for complex, high-function industrial applications.

Frequently Asked
Questions Answered

What is injection molding?

Injection molding is a mature manufacturing process that allows for plastic parts to be produced in large volumes. The process involves melting plastic pellets that, once malleable enough, are injected at pressure into a mold cavity, which fills and solidifies to produce the final product.

What is rapid tooling for injection molding?

Rapid injection molding is the process of making injection molds for prototyping, bridging, and short production run parts in less time and at a reduced cost than full production molds.

What types of plastic materials can you use in injection molding?

Injection molding is compatible with a wide array of plastic materials, primarily thermoplastics, which can be melted and re-solidified. Common types include Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polyethylene (PE) (e.g., HDPE, LDPE), Nylon (Polyamide - PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polystyrene (PS), and Polyoxymethylene (POM). The choice depends on the desired properties like strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical resistance for the final product.

What tolerances can you hold in plastic injection molding?

We can typically hold standard tolerances of +/- 0.1 mm (0.004 inches) in plastic injection molding for general parts. For applications requiring high precision, we can achieve tighter tolerances, often down to +/- 0.025 mm (0.001 inches) or even finer, depending on factors like material type (amorphous plastics generally hold tighter tolerances than crystalline ones), part geometry, wall thickness consistency, and mold design. The achievable tolerance is always a balance between part requirements and cost.

How much does injection molding cost?

Typically, the tooling costs between 10,000INR– 8,00,000INR. However, Depending on the complexity of the project, the type of tool, and other factors. The unit cost is what makes the initial investment in injection mold tools worthwhile. You can expect the cost per unit to be very less.

Which industries use plastic injection molding?

Injection molding is one of the most popular and versatile manufacturing process technologies for producing mid-to-high volumes of plastic parts. It is widely used in many industries, including:

Automotive

Agriculture

Consumer goods

Consumer technology

Medical & pharmaceutical

Robotics

Toys

Do you offer multi-cavity mold capabilities?

Yes, we offer multi-cavity mold capabilities.

Who owns the mold after it’s created?

The client owns the mold after its creation, as the development costs are covered by their payment.

How long does it take to build a mold?

The timeline depends upon the component; it takes a minimum of 25days to 2 months for a single component complexity.

How long does an injection mold last?

Injection mold tools can last between 100 to over 100,000 and even 1M+ cycles. Again, the lifespan of an injection mold depends on the mold material, mold structure design, maintenance, time between production runs, and operating conditions.
