Our Awesome Clients
Find high-quality Plastic Injection Molding Services?
How To Work With Us
The plastic injection molding process may seem simple, but there are many parameters that need to be tightly controlled to ensure the quality and consistency of the plastic components produced.
Submit Request
To obtain a complimentary quote, please provide a product description and technical drawing with your request. Don't have a technical drawing available? Not a problem. We offer reverse engineering services as well.
DFM & Quotation
Our typical response time is within 24 hours. However, please note that the communication process may require ongoing discussions, and the entire process is completely free of charge.
Mold-making
Once the design has been approved, we will start making the mold for your plastic parts. Our team will use advanced technology and equipment to fabricate a high-quality mold that meets your specifications.
Injection Molding
Once the mold is ready, we will begin the injection molding process. Our skilled technicians will use the mold to create high-quality plastic parts consistent in shape and size. We will perform quality control checks throughout the process.
Tolerance
Factors affecting the tolerance of injection molded parts include plastic properties, product design, mold design, injection molding process, etc. When we talk about injection molding product tolerances, it’s better to consider the appearance and function of the finished product and the cost.
Usually, Prototool takes DIN 16742 as our injection molding tolerance standard, and for the automotive industry, we comply with the QC-T-29017-1991 automotive industry tolerance standard as our standard. When the customer has special tolerance requirements, we strictly follow the requirements.
The Plastic Injection Molding Process
1.Clamping
The core and the cavity are the two main pieces of an injection mold. In the first step, during clamping, these two parts of the mold will be extruded and fit together by the machine.
2. Injection
3. Dwelling
Next is the dwelling phase, where the melted plastic is filled to the entirety of the mold through pressure. The pressure is applied directly to the mold such that the liquid fills all mold cavities, and the product comes out accurately and is identical to the mold.
4.Cooling
This process step allows the time needed for the mold to cool. If this step is performed too hastily, the products may stick together or become distorted when demolding.
5. Mold Opening
This is the opposite process of clamping. In this step, a clamping motor slowly opens the two parts of the mold to make for the safety and stability.
6. Ejection

Finishing
We offer multiple finishing options to complete the plastic products made with the plastic injection molding process. You can choose from any of the following depending upon your application’s requirements:
Standard Finish
Interior, non-cosmetic finish according to the geometry of the mold.
SPI Finishes
Range of SPI finishes from Grade 3 diamond / high polish to 320 stone low polish. These Finishing options include SPI A-1, SPI A-2, SPI A-3, SPI B-1, SPI B-2, SPI B-3, SPI C-1, SPI C-2, SPI C-3, SPI D-1, SPI D-2, and SPI D-3.
Threaded Inserts
We can install the most commonly used and popular standard inserts in UNF and metric sizes.
As Molded
As the name suggests, the mold will remain ‘as it is’ – without any secondary texturing or polishing.
Mold Texturing
Creating textures on the molds so that it shows on the final product. This finishing option includes matte, swirls, patterns, and lines.
Laser Engraving
Engrave part numbers, designs, logos, or any other specified printing onto your parts.
Pad Printing
Application of an ink-based design to the surface.
Painting
Painting the surface with standard colors or Pantone matching, including Primer and topcoat. Masking available; EMI (copper) paint.

Plastic Injection Molding FAQs
Get answers about Plastic Injection Molding Services that could be essential for your particular needs.
How do I get a quote for plastic injection molding services?
To receive a quote, please provide us with detailed information about your project, including part designs or drawings, material specifications, and the quantity of parts needed. Any additional requirements, such as finishing or assembly, should also be mentioned.
What types of plastic materials can be used in injection molding?
We work with a wide range of thermoplastic materials, including ABS, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and more specialized resins like PEEK and TPE, depending on the part’s requirements for strength, flexibility, and thermal resistance.
What is the minimum order quantity for plastic injection molding?
Our minimum order quantity varies based on the project. We accommodate both small batch and large-scale production runs, offering flexibility to suit different client needs.
Can you assist with part design for injection molding?
Yes, we offer part design assistance to ensure your designs are optimized for injection molding. This includes advice on wall thickness, rib design, and gate placement for efficient manufacturing.
Are there any design constraints in plastic injection molding?
Design constraints include considerations for mold flow, part ejection, and cooling. Designs should avoid undercuts, maintain uniform wall thickness, and consider draft angles for easy part release.
Can you produce high-precision parts with tight tolerances?
Yes, our plastic injection molding process is capable of producing high-precision parts with tight tolerances. We use advanced machinery and rigorous quality control to ensure precision.
What finishing options are available for injection molded parts?
We offer various finishing options, including painting, plating, silk screening, and texturing, to enhance the appearance and functionality of the injection molded parts.
How do you ensure quality in injection molded parts?
Quality is ensured through stringent process control, regular inspections, and adherence to industry standards. We conduct various tests to verify the dimensional accuracy, material properties, and overall quality of each part.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of proprietary designs in injection molding projects?
We take the confidentiality of our clients’ designs very seriously. We use secure data handling practices and can enter into non-disclosure agreements to protect your proprietary information.
How do you handle short-run or low-volume injection molding projects?
