Get Injection Molded Parts Near Charlotte, North Carolina
An Overview of Injection Molding
Injection molding is an excellent choice for higher-volume plastic production. In this process, melted plastic resin is injected into a mold to create high-quality, often intricate components. These parts typically feature “A” and “B” side design elements that serve functional, structural, or aesthetic purposes. While injection molding offers many advantages, its appropriateness depends entirely on the specific requirements of the project.
AdvancTEK’s Abilities in Injection Molding
For AdvancTEK, the injection molding process begins well before any tool is built or part is produced. We focus on collaborating with customers early in their development cycle to offer expert guidance on part design and manufacturability, resulting in better cost control and increased efficiency. Our engineering team can also help with tooling development to improve tooling performance and ensure parts can be molded to meet your design requirements.
Once the tool is ready and molding begins, plastic pellets are heated into a molten state and injected into the tool to form the desired shape. The molded part is then ejected and often robotically removed from the machine before being handed to the operator. The operator’s role includes trimming the gate if needed, inspecting the part, and applying labels.
Gas-Assisted Injection Molding
To further our capabilities in injection molding, we also offer gas-assist injection molding. This approach uses nitrogen gas to pack in more material while achieving the same finished look. It has transformed the way that complex parts are manufactured, and many customers find it to be a valuable asset.
