Custom Plastic Injection Tooling For Your Projects
Plastic Injection Molding Service
At Creatingtec, we deal in the creation of top-notch plastic injection mold tools and molded parts. We provide finishing and machining services using tools that allow us to work on an array of materials. We are thus able to produce between 50 to 100,000 final parts using all sorts of plastics.
At Creatingtec, we strive to produce tools and parts that exceed our clients’ expectations. This is by use of modern material inspection methods and quality processes. Simply upload your product’s design we will provide a friendly injection molding quote. Here is further insight into plastic injection molding.
We mainly use plastic injection molding in the mass creation of plastic parts. We can use these parts in both the commercial and industrial sectors. It begins by injecting molten resin into a preformed cavity under high pressure. We proceed to rapidly cool it that results in a solid shape. A single cycle takes up between a few seconds or minutes depending on the size and shape of the parts.
What Type of Plastic Injection Materials Do We Work with?
The injection molding process can work on almost any plastic material. Luckily there are lots of thermosetting and thermoforming plastics to pick for your project. We have a list of the common materials we work on.
● Rapid Tooling Service
Hard tooling refers to working on cores and cavities. We make them from an array of materials to meet your budget, time of production and order volume. We can also work on a special group of metals as per the client’s request.
Most plastic materials contract and expand when under the influence of moisture and heat. Tolerances give us a guide to the feature of the most common resin types for plastic parts.
We often work hand in hand with our clients when coming up with the most optimum plastic design. Our experts aid in noting poor designs that are likely to produce shrinkage, warping and thermal stress. Moreover, you can opt to go to our design guide and check out common defects and how we avoid them.
Other than for special reasons, we comply with standard tolerance for plastic injection molding. You can further read on the visual quality inspection we use on injection molded parts.

The Plastic Molding Process
It first entails mixing and heating resin in the form of plastic until it melts. We then inject the liquid plastic under high pressure into the mold tool’s hollow cavity. Afterward, we apply rapid cooling until a solid part form. We then eject it from the cavity in readiness for the next cycle.

Pros of Plastic Injection Molding
Plastic injection molding is one of the quickest and most cost-effective of plastic mass production. This is often after making the mold tool.

Duration of the Injection Molding Process
An injection mold tool may take up five days to two weeks. This largely depends on the design’s complexity and likely heat treatment. Contact us today if you have any further inquiries.
