When you’re buying molded parts made from different types of plastics, it’s crucial you know about some of parts defects that can lower the quality of the molded plastic parts. If you know the sources of the defects and flaws they can cause, you can work in conjunction with your plastic injection molding company to maintain the highest standard of quality during production.

Ever wonder what it takes to mold complex parts? Well, that’s the topic that Ken Glassen covers in one of his most recent injection molding blog posts. There’s no doubt that the higher the complexity, the higher the skill-level required from the injection molder, but the environment plays a key role in the molding. From the facility’s air flow to the level of equipment and automation tools, every factor counts when the part is complex. “Maintaining a stable, injection molding climate reduces the environmental impacts that fluctuating temperature can have on operations.”

In the plastic injection molding industry, the quality of plastic parts is paramount. Plastics can be precisely molded, but many companies end up with flawed parts because they get one contractor to construct the mold and another to use the mold to create the parts. As a result, quality is often compromised. Companies can now achieve the perfect plastic parts by taking into consideration the following four steps. (more…)
“Success in the injection molding business isn’t just about having the right equipment or the latest technologies,” says Ken Glassen of Kaysun Corporation. Of course, equipment and technology is a good place to start, but to completely meet the growing needs of clients who make complex products under challenging time and cost constraints, injection molders must have top tool makers in their supply chains that embrace the same vision of manufacturing excellence and customer service as they do.
Take a look at the rest of the article HERE and read about the necessary partnership between the tool makers and the injection molders and why that’s so important.
The injection molding industry is extremely competitive because of the need to respond quickly to a customer’s requests while keeping production costs low. Unfortunately, both are not always possible, and that’s why many manufacturers have been opting for off-shoring in order to cut production costs. However, the recent trends show manufacturing companies are now looking to re-shore their plastic injection molding manufacturing, and they have very good reasons for doing so. (more…)
