Technology gives us a lot of possibilities and we love to make new things at Swords Precision. Our input consists of ideas that are used for more efficient and higher quality plastic products. This post is all about the best 10 plastic injection mold designs. These designs are unique to each and are a huge advancement in plastic molding technology. Here’s what you need to know about each — and how they contribute to making plastic products even better.
The Hot Runner Mold
Making plastic products is not without its challenges — waste is one of the largest. We want to use up as much plastic as we can to produce things, without accruing a lot of residual material. This problem is resolved here with The Hot Runner Mold. It maintains a uniform temperature on the plastic during the entire molding cycle. This reduces the amount of scrap material left over, allowing us to produce products much faster and with greater efficiency. This design saves materials, while allowing us to produce more products in less amount of time.
The Stack Mold
The Stack Mold is a smart design, making use of the vertical space. By stacking multiple molds together, a manufacturer can produce a number of identical parts in one "molding cycle." The process is excellent for high-volume production runs, where we can deliver tons of the same product quickly and effectively. This helps to maximize production output with the same time and resources.
The Gas Assist Mold
This unique design employs air usage in the model space to generate a hollow in a plastic element. Not only does this save material, but it also allows to enhance the strength and durability of the final product. This makes it possible for us to design thin, but durable and heavy use, plastic components. This makes it ideal for anything that requires both fragility and durability.
The Multi-Shot Mold
Injection Molded PartsMulti-Shot Mold allows manufacturers to produce parts in multiple materials or colors in a single molding cycle. Great design for creating complex pieces that require different materials or colors to function. This enables us to integrate different capabilities into a single product, giving it not only increased functionality, but also aesthetics.
The Co-injection Mold
The Co-injection Mold injects 2 different types of materials at once. This design is useful because we can manufacture it with a hard outer layer and a softer inner layer. This pairing offers great grip and comfort and thus yields a final product that is simply more nice to use. This is a great way to improve the feel and usability of plastic products.
The In-mold Decoration Mold
The In-mold Decoration Mold is a new design that inserts a decorative design directly into a part during the molding process. This eliminates the need to perform a second operation in order to decorate the part later, which saves time and enhances production efficiency. Actual cycle time of forming process is greatly reduced compared to the traditionally multi-staged process busy with decoration before injection molding.
The Family Mold
The Family Mold is an intelligent design that enables manufacturers to produce multiple related components in one molding cycle. This is extremely beneficial since it consumes less time and consequently lowers the costs of assembling products afterward. For this reason, we aim at manufacturing abundance, by manufacturing multiple parts at once.
The Insert Mold
Simply put, this clever design allows pre-made components to be inserted into a plastic part while the plastic part is molded. This means you get a very accurate and tight fit and locking in just one action. It is a time saver and guarantees that the parts will match perfectly, thus necessary for making top quality products.
The Micro Mold
Micro Mold was developed for manufacturing small and complex parts with extreme precision. The slab design is ideal for producing small parts with complex geometries, like those used in medical equipment or electronics. Thanks to the Micro Mold, we are able to produce components for high-tech applications that require utmost precision and detail.
The Overmold
Injecting multiple materials in layers is a special technique known as Overmold. This adds a portion that has different colors or textures and which can increase value and make the final product look more aesthetic. This pattern can be used to create models that have better grip, cushioning, or aesthetics, ultimately resulting in these items being more comfortable and attractive to its users.
