What is Home Appliance Mold's Plastic Parts Mold?
Plastic part moulding is a method of producing custom moulds for plastic parts. The resulting components are affordable and powerful because they come from custom steel molds that mold liquid plastic inside an injection molding machine. Finished plastic parts also have a precise fit and surface finish.
Tool options
There are several types of tool options, including:
Injection mold. This type of tool is ideal for mass production of plastic parts. It starts with a custom steel mold placed inside an injection molding machine. These machines inject molten plastic into these molds. Once this process is complete, remove each part from the mold by placing it in hot water. Injection molds are one of the most economical options with the shortest lead time.
Plastic blow molds. It is similar to an injection mold, except that compressed air or gas is blown into the piston to push each plastic part out of the mold. Also, plastic blow molding is a budget-friendly option as it is faster than other types.
Plastic compression moulds. This tool type consists of custom steel molds placed inside a hydraulic press to pressurize and shape heated plastic.
Steel frame. This tool option uses sheet metal, which creates a rigid frame to which the manufacturer attaches a steel mold. It's simple, and manufacturers can customize it to design a variety of finished parts.
Billet mold. As a tooling method, it also uses a steel mold, but has no moving parts. It is mainly used to make plastic injection moulds or blow moulds.
