Injection Molding Capabilities
Single-Cavity, Multi-Cavity, and Family Mold Solutions:
Utilize single or multiple cavities within a mold to create one or more parts simultaneously. Family molds allow for the production of different parts within a shared mold base, optimizing efficiency and reducing costs.
Gas-Assist Injection Molding:
This technique involves injecting inert gas into the molten plastic, helping to push the material into the mold to create hollow parts. Ideal for producing complex, lightweight designs with intricate features.
Insert Molding:
This process integrates pre-placed inserts, often metal, into the plastic mold before injection. As the plastic cools, the insert becomes securely embedded, providing enhanced strength and functionality for the final product.
Overmolding:
This technique combines multiple materials in a single process, often using a soft material like TPE over a rigid plastic part. Overmolding adds flexibility, grip, or aesthetic appeal to the final product.

Materials
Materials We Work With
ABS
Acrylic
Acrylic
LDPE
A glass alternative, Polymethyl Methacrylate has high tensile and flexural strength, UV resistance, and transparency.
A glass alternative, Polymethyl Methacrylate has high tensile and flexural strength, UV resistance, and transparency.
Compared to HDPE, the molecules of LDPE are more branched out, making the thermoplastic weaker but more flexible. LDPE can be translucent or opaque.
MDPE
PVC
PC
PP
With properties between HDPE and LDPE, MDPE has excellent shock and drop resistance properties. MDPE is less dense than HDPE but stronger than LDPE.
Polyvinyl Chloride is one of the most versatile plastics. It comes in two types—rigid and flexible—and is dense with good tensile strength.
Polycarbonates are a group of polymers that contain carbonate groups within their chemical structures. Polycarbonates are used in a wide variety of applications typically where impact resistance and transparency are required.
Polypropylene is a widely used thermoplastic popular for its high melting point and low level of electrical conductivity. On top of this, Polypropylene does not break down easily but is resistant to cracking and stress.
PETG
HIPS
PU/TPU
TPU
A transparent material, PETG is a common substitute for PVC that provides similar properties with the additional glycol modification.
Both transparent or colored, Polystyrene provides good elasticity and flexibility. It can be manufactured as a solid or foam.
TPE is a physical mix of polymers . It can be stretched to twice its original length and still return to its original shape. TPE is similar to TPR, but is more soft and flexible.
Polyurethane boasts excellent elasticity and clarity and also provides protection from grease, oil, or other damage.
