FAQs Answered by Our Custom Large Part Injection Molders
What role does the material play in large part molding projects?
Choosing the right material is vital for project success, as the choice of material can impact the required clamping force and the type of machines that can be used. At AdvancTEK, we have access to a material library to identify resins with superior flow characteristics, which can help fill large parts more efficiently and enhance their aesthetics.
What are some common challenges that I may face in large part molding?
We find that our customers struggle to find suppliers with the capacity to handle large molds. As injection mold tonnage increases, the availability of suppliers or equipment diminishes, therefore driving up costs and timelines. We address this with our robust inventory of large tonnage machines across our facilities in the U.S. and Mexico, guaranteeing we can support projects regardless of the location.
How do you determine the size of the machine that is needed?
There are many factors that play into determining the size of the machine needed such as material type, wall thickness, and gating. Our large part injection molding company conducts a detailed mold flow analysis and simulations to ensure the most efficient use of equipment.
