Rapid Prototype Injection Molding for Plastic Base/Frame

Detailed Breakdown

1. Service: Rapid Prototype Injection Molding

• This is not standard mass-production molding. It uses:

  • Softer, Faster-to-Machine Molds: Typically made from aluminum or mild steel instead of hardened steel.

  • Simplified Mold Design: May lack complex features to save time and cost.

  • The Goal: To produce 50 to 500+ functional prototypes that are identical in material and nearly identical in properties to the final production parts. This is far superior to 3D printing for testing material performance, assembly, and real-world function.

2. Product Focus: Plastic Base/Frame

• Bases and frames are typically structural components. They require high strength, good dimensional stability, and often need to withstand stress, vibration, or weight. Prototyping these via injection molding is critical because:

  • You can test the real material properties (e.g., strength of Nylon, impact resistance of ABS).

  • You can verify fit, form, and function with other components in an assembly.

  • You can identify potential warpage or sink marks that wouldn't be apparent in a 3D-printed model.

Application: Automotive, Medical, Consumer Electronics, Sporting Goods

• This highlights the supplier's expertise in industries with high-quality demands.

  • Automotive: Requires parts that can withstand heat and vibration.

  • Medical: Demands high precision and biocompatible materials.

  • Consumer Electronics: Needs excellent aesthetics and structural integrity.

  • Sporting Goods: Requires high impact strength and durability.
