Precision Injection Moulding

Mould Types:1,Two Three Plate Moulds: Three-plate molds are cold runner tools, but by adding a third plate to the runner system, you are able to locate your injection point into virtually any location on the tool. This is usually less expensive than adding a hot runner system, however this type of mold often has large and unwieldy runners, which can be more difficult to automate.2,Prototypes: A prototype mold is a low production mold that is used to prove out a concept. These molds are less expensive due to their materials and they lack durability.3, Cavitation: A mould can have either a single cavity to produce one part per cycle or multiple cavities to produce several parts per cycle. A single cavity mold will be the most cost effective in terms of the cost to product the mold, but overall cost of producing parts will be more expensive because each cycle of injection molding using a single cavity mold will only produce on mart. A multi cavity mold is typically larger and more complex, therefore more expensive than a single cavity mold, but the overall cost of the finished part will be reduced due to increased production of numerous finished parts per cycle of injection molding. The customer should consider both factors when determining single cavity over multi-cavity molds.4,Family Mould: A multi-cavity mold can be used to create a series of different parts within the same mold.5,Cold Runner Moulds: Cold runner molds are traditional molds that utilize sprues, runners
