What's injection molding
Injection molding is the most economical way for plastic prototype manufacturing in large scale, by injecting molten material (usually plastic or metal) into a mold to produce parts. Here is a brief overview of the process: Prepare a mold, which is a metal block with the shape required for the part to be produced. Then close the mold, inject the molten material into the mold cavity under high pressure, and the material cools and solidifies inside the mold. Once solidified, the mold opens and the finished part is ejected. The mold closes again, and the process is repeated to create multiple parts, which can be repeated hundreds or thousands of times. Injection molding is well-suited for mass-producing parts with complex shapes and high precision. It is used in various industries such as automotive, medical, consumer goods, and packaging. However, the process does require an initial investment in mold making, which can be a significant expense for custom or complex molds. In addition, the machinery and equipment used in injection molding are generally quite costly, but considering the high output and efficiency of the process, the cost is justified.At Brightstar, we offer a range of injection molding services, from low volume prototyping to low cost injection molding production, using thermoplastic plastics (TPE), thermosetting plastics, or metals. Our team of experienced molding experts can guide you to the right solution, whether you need a quick prototype with aluminum tools or a more durable solution for larger production runs. Unlike many molding companies, we do not specify a minimum order quantity.
