China Molding Quotes

Fathom delivers high-quality parts to its customers using the latest injection molding technology. Fathom can meet the requirements of your project, whether time-sensitive, highly complex, high-precision or short production run related.

Benefits of China Injection Molding Services / /

Many industries have shifted their manufacturing to China for multiple reasons. The government in China has made it very easy for manufacturers to grow their business, providing incentives, subsidies and strong infrastructure. While China has a reputation for producing lower-end products, manufacturers have recently started to produce higher-end goods. Designers and entrepreneurs can shift their focus to design, research and development by outsourcing manufacturing to an off-site company.

More Cost-Effective

One of the primary reasons companies contract a China injection mold manufacturer is reduced production costs. Companies can order the same volume of products at a fraction of domestic cost. China has unlimited cheap labor, allowing them to meet tight deadlines for less money.

Similar Services

Injection molding manufacturers in China offer the same services as domestic manufacturers. Not only do they have extensive experience in plastic injection molding, but they also have the same access as American companies to research and development in the manufacturing industry. Chinese manufacturers have the same quality assurance certifications, training, and tools as USA-based companies.

Similar Quality

China is well known for producing plastic goods, making some of its injection molding manufacturers some of the most experienced and knowledgeable in the world. Their high experience level leads to better quality injection molds and ultimately better-quality plastic parts.

Similar Communication

Manufacturers in China are well known for their strong working culture. By contracting a Chinese injection molding company, you will gain a partner that will provide you with excellent support ranging from production, product design, engineering and more. Chinese injection mold makers have been working in plastics manufacturing for many decades, and there is much to learn from their extensive experience.

China Molding Finishing Processes / /

After injection molding, a part is moved to the finishing process. Some finishing techniques add to the physical appearance of a part and others strengthen its physical properties. Here are some of the finishes offered by Fathom.

SURFACE FINISH GUIDE TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Standard No Machine Mark Tool Marks Removed Low Cosmetic
SPI-C1 600 Stone Low Polish Parts
SPI-B1 600 Grit Paper Medium Polish Parts
