Precision Injection Mold

The mold is often referred to as tooling. Mold and tooling are relatively interchangeable terms for the metal mold at the heart of the injection molding process. Mold tooling may also be used to describe the process of machining the mold out of a block of metal. A core & cavity is cut into the negative shape of the part.

High quality tooling is required to produce high quality parts.

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that uses a metal mold to shape molten plastic resins. The injection molding machines holds the mold together while it is injected with molten plastic at high pressure. Once the plastic has cooled, the mold is opened and the part is ejected. The process is repeated until the desired amount of parts has been completed.

Injection molding is a cost efficient way to manufacture a high volume of complex plastic parts.
