At Plastikos and Micro Mold every mold begins with a designer translating a physical or CAD model into a set of blueprints that meet all dimensional, aesthetic, and inspection requirements. Our mold designers are knowledgeable in the unique properties of injection molding. Whether the application is single or multicavity, hot or cold runner, we are able to meet your needs from concept to delivery.
A cross-functional team of experts takes over once the mold blueprints are finalized. The team includes:
We excel at building tools with steel tolerances in the millionths (+/- 0.000040 inches). The complexity of our molds is often compounded by the tool's flexibility since many of the projects that we receive contain multiple parts of similar geometry and size. Rather than constructing numerous individual molds, we create one mold that can easily be changed over to produce several different parts.
Unlike family molds, which are undesirable from a processing and quality control standpoint, our technique of interchangeable insert molding reduces design and construction fees and minimizes raw material costs. These types of flexible molds are extremely rare in the plastics industry since they demand uncommon foresight and detailed planning.
