Components
A plastic mold usually contains the following main components:
Mold Cavity: The mold cavity is the main part of the mold and determines the shape of the final product. It consists of two or more parts, which can be divided into an Upper Mold and a Lower Mold.
Slider: A slider is a part that can slide in the mold to form grooves or complex shapes in the product.
Core Pin: The core pin is the part responsible for forming the protruding or internal structure in the product, usually located in the middle of the mold housing.
Guide Pillars and Bushings: Guide pillars and bushings are the parts used to maintain the positioning of the upper and lower die, ensuring the precise alignment of the die when closed and opened.
Cooling System: The cooling system adjusts the temperature by introducing cooling water or other cooling media into the mold to ensure the rapid solidification of plastics and improve production efficiency.
Ejector Pin: The ejector pin ejects the molded plastic products from the mold through the top action.
Moving Plate: The moving plate is used to support sliding blocks, mandrels, and other moving parts to ensure that they can move smoothly.
Stationary Plate (Stationary Plate): The stationary plate is used to support the mold shell and other stationary parts, fixing the overall structure of the mold.
Injection port (Sprue): The injection port is a channel for the plastic material to enter the mold, usually located above the mold and connected to the injection machine.
Base Plate: The base plate is the support structure at the bottom of the mold, which is usually connected to the mold housing to provide the overall stability of the mold.
The design and assembly of the above components form a complete plastic mold for the production of plastic products with specific shapes and structures.

Q: What plastic is used in injection moulding?
10 Popular Injection Moulding Materials Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
Low-density polyethylene is used as injection moulding materials to create bottles, plastic bags and plastic wraps as well as playground slides. The benefits of using this material are its moisture and chemical resistance.
Q: How do you mold plastic?
Compression molding involves placing a heated plastic inside of a heated mold, then closing it to compress the plastic into the desired shape. Once cooled, the part is removed from the mold. The heating process, called curing, helps ensure that the final product will maintain its integrity and shape.
Q: How many packaging do you have?
A: Our current products are mainly packaged in boxes.
Q: Can you do our own packaging?
A: Yes, you just provide the package design and we will produce what you want. We also have the professional designer can help you do the packaging design.
Q: What steel is plastic injection molds made from?
P20 is the most widely used plastic mould steel, good for volumes up to 50,000. It's known for its reliability for general-purpose resins and abrasive resins with glass fibers. Pro: P20 is used by many engineers and product designers because it's more cost effective and tougher than aluminum in some applications.
Q: What are the disadvantages of injection molding?
High initial cost to set up the machinery properly. Not as cost effective if used to produce only a low volume of parts. Moulds need to be designed to a high standard, which takes skilled workers.
Q: What are injection molds made of?
Plastic injection molds are typically constructed from hardened or pre-hardened steel, aluminum, and/or beryllium-copper alloy. Steel molds cost more, but are often preferred because of their high durability.
Q: How fast is plastic injection molding?
Traditional injection molding already has short cycle times, aka the amount of time it takes to produce parts. Depending upon a part's size and complexity, a single cycle can take just a few seconds.
Q: Can injection molds be reused?
Can injection molds be reused?
The scrap produced from the injection molding process can be recycled back into the manufacturing process. For manufacturing purposes, post-industrial scrap can be shred and fed back into the injection molding machine or the plastic melted into pellets for reuse.
Q: Is injection molding stronger than 3D printing?
Injection molded parts tend to be stronger than 3D printed components. Mainly, that's because injection molded parts are made are made of a single layer of material. By contrast, 3D printing produces parts layer by layer.
Q: Which shipping way can you provide?
A: We can provide shipping by sea, by air .

The steps include mold design,steel order and inspection,drilling cooling and screws holes, CNC machining , mold base order and frame making,electrodes making,EDM process,wire cut,polish ,fitting,assembly and mold trial,some high requirement mold need harden up steel for main insert,it will add harden-up process.
Q:What is plastic mould made of?
The plastic mold is made from a combination of steel plates and other mold components, coupled to form an overall mold, which is then reliably assembled and installed in an injection molding machine, then applies a thermoplastic resin to the desired shape to fulfill the intended purpose.
Q:Can all plastics be injection molded?
Plastic injection molding can work with a variety of plastics. Some of the popular materials are as listed below: Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylene (PP), Polyamides (PA), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Acrylic (PMMA), Polyethyelene (PE), Polystyrene (PS) and
Q: Why is injection molding so popular?
Rubber injection moulding process produces a high yield of durable products, making it the most efficient and cost-effective method of moulding. Consistent vulcanisation processes involving precise temperature control significantly reduces all waste material.
Q: How many types of injection molding are there?
Hydraulic, Electric, and Hybrid Machines
There are three types of injection molding machines, classified by the type of drive/motor — hydraulic, electric, or hybrid.
Q: Why choose plastic injection molding?
Plastic Injection Molding Has Low Labor Costs.
Labor costs for injection molding operations are relatively low compared to other types of molding processes. The capacity to produce the parts at a very high level with a high output rate helps reduce manufacturing costs through its efficiency and effectiveness.
