Precision injection molding ensures a molded component is repeatable every time, from lot to lot, regardless of the annual production volumes. However, not every molder provides the same level of experience/awareness or fully embraces the use of scientific molding principles in their pursuit of high-quality parts. There are several critical factors that need to be considered for success with an injection molding project, including choosing the right partner who: understands the entire development process, can participate in the part design & the material selection, and can properly manage the tool design.
Choosing the right manufacturing partner is an important first step in creating a quality part. Engaging with the right partner from the beginning will minimize potential issues through the commercialization process. It is crucial to find a manufacturer that specializes in precision molding with an in-depth knowledge of tooling and the entire molding proc…
