How much does a plastic injection mold cost in China?
To some extent, it is a lot to ask how much a plastic injection mold costs. It is a like asking “How much does your car cost?” Will your mold be a Toyota or a Bentley? The factors that determine the cost you pay for a mold are a combination of several elements, including part dimensions, complexity, selected materials and required quantities. For example, if you need 1,000 simple parts every year, we will recommend a single-cavity mold to you, i.e. it produces one part in each cycle. In this case, the mold will probably cost you 1,000 – 2,000 USD. Another example: if you need 1,000,000 remote controllers per month, we will create a 16-cavity mold for you, which makes … Read more
Different plastic molding process for plastic product
Plastic refers to the numerous organic synthetic materials that are mostly polymers of high molecular weight. Currently, it is one of the 3 synthetic materials that are indispensable for our day-to-day life, while the other 2 are synthetic rubber and synthetic fiber. Natural or synthetic resin, the main ingredient of plastic, is often mixed with a variety of additives, so that the material can be molded into desired shapes under certain temperature and pressure conditions, and maintain the shape at room temperature. As a high molecular compound, plastic molding can be processed with various methods, each of which is a blend of pros and cons, and suitable for specific applications. Now, let’s see how plastic is molded through some relevant … Read more
