Our mold manufacturing process and our injection molding process bridges the gap between prototyping and producing large quantities of parts for a variety of injection molding applications for the production of plastic parts.
Mold tooling and Design
- We design and manufacture injection molding molds of various types including various quantities of mold cavity numbers, depending on production needs.
- Our standard lead time for mold production is 25 calendar days, but sometimes longer depending on the availability of the plastic material specified.
- Our MOQ (Minimum order quantity) is only 1,000 parts to help customers start new product lines.
- We simplify logistics for you by offering not just mold making, but one stop shopping for manufacturing plastic parts, packing, shipping and import services as well
How are molds used in the plastic injection mold process?
Making molds and plastic injection tooling for plastic injection molded parts manufacturing, sometimes called mold injection manufacturing, is an art that results in the creation of molds for plastic injection manufacturing.
Molds are used on an injection molding machine on which injection moulding materials such as granular plastic is fed into a hopper, which in turn feeds a heating vessel from which molten plastic flows, followed by the injection of the plastic whereby the melted plastic is forced into an area which part is called the injection unit creating injection pressure to fill, resulting in the injection of the polymer to fill the mold that determines the geometry of a part.
Once the plastic has cooled in the mold and the plastic solidifies, standard events during the injection molding process, the two halves of the mold open and the plastic part is called finished for processing. In the end the quality of the final parts is determined by the quality of the product design, the mold design and the quality of the mold d itself.
Steel and Aluminum Injection Molds
Our expetise lies in tooling and producing hardened steel production molds. Our design and engineering ensures quality but also offers a cost advantage over traditional injection moling companies.
We produce molds for both simple and complex and intricate parts and plastic components, because we have mastered injection molding international markets as well as highly custom plastic injection techniques.
We harness the injection molding industry best practices and engineering processess, what allows us to consistently deliver high quality cost-effective products.
- Our design considerations and manufacturability analysis of your design for injection molding various part(s) assure optimized plastic injection mold tooling that will provide years of service and thousands of parts in your injection molding work.
- Our extensive mold making capabilities as a plastic injection mould manufacturer ensure zero molding defects once the mold goes to the plastic injection molding factory.
- Once the mold is finished and the sample parts approved by the customer, you benefit from using plastic injection molding factory with its swift 15 calendar day lead time for injection molded parts.
Discover a diverse range of precision-machined steel (or aluminum) molds for injection moulds at Cindre, we want to be your preferred supplier of both molds and molded parts.
Molds for Plastic Injection Manufacturing
Injection molding machines consist of a hopper to hold the raw plastic resin pellets, a heating vessel to produce the melted plastic, a screw injection unit [the screw injection unit is often called an auger unit] creating the injection pressure whereby the plastic is forced to inject plastic into the cavity of the mold initiating the injection molding cycle.
Our part in this is to create this mold for you, it consists of a mechanism that holds the two halves of the mold that are closed during the injection process used to produce plastic parts.
Applications in all industries
At Cindre LCC we offer custom injection molding services that meet your needs for quality, time, and price.
Injection molding is used for a wide range of applications, due to our efficiency, our standard lead time for mold production is only 25 calendar days once the mold design is approved, providing you a very fast design to market window. Injection molding can produce a higher number of parts ranging form as few as a thousand to hundreds of thousands of parts whereby the higher number of parts made, the lower the price gets.
To support new product introductions, we accommodate low quantities—starting from just 500-1,000 pieces in the first year after mold deployment, with a subsequent minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 1,000-3,000 pieces after the initial year depending on the type of part involved.
Our global approach includes seamless worldwide shipping, quoted FOB destination, simplifying logistics for you.
We prioritize our customers’ convenience by providing worldwide shipping and quoting FOB destination, eliminating the hassle of dealing with freight and import procedures.
Typically, the production time ranges from 15 days to 60 days, depending on the size of the plastic part, the complexity of the mold structure, precision, and lifespan of the mold.
Before processing any order, we meticulously review product designs for manufacturability and conduct thorough moldflow analyses.
We design and tool custom injection molds and offers in-house design services, as well as ongoing maintenance and modifications to ensure they are compatible with new products.
Fast Turn-Around Short Lead-time of 3 to 4 weeks for injection molding orders.
If your injection molded parts need any secondary operations or any finishing, we’ll coordinate all of those services for you.
Once your mold has been built, we can deliver the mold to your facility or run your injection-molded parts in-house and store the mold for you.
Before processing any order, we meticulously review product designs for manufacturability and conduct thorough moldflow analyses.
Steel materials are wear-resistant and withstand high pressures, making them durable and ideal for long-term use. It also offers maximum strength for high-volume processes.
Aluminum is an excellent option for those looking for an alternative with the same quality as steel. It’s lightweight and has incredible workability, which allows for more design flexibility.
