Benefits of Injection Molding / /

Injection molding has multiple advantages. The injection molding process is very efficient with a high rate of repeatability. Depending on the complexity of the mold, a new part can be produced every 15 seconds. Thousands to millions of identical parts can be created from a single mold. There is a wide variety of materials that can be used in the injection molding process, including crystalline, amorphous, and imidized plastics. Parts can be made in many colors. Since injection molding is automated, the labor and overhead costs are lower.

Injection Molding Materials List / /

Selecting the right material for your injection molding job can be confusing. Fathom can help. Crystalline, amorphous, and imidized plastics are all available for use. Each plastic has its own unique characteristics, as mentioned below.

• Crystalline Plastics: Polyethylene, polypropylene, polyetheretherketone and more are crystalline plastics. Crystalline plastics are known for their chemical resistance, strength and stiffness. They are hydrophobic.
• Amorphous Plastics: Amorphous plastics include polystyrene, polycarbonate, ABS and more. Amorphous plastics have good dimensional stability and are less likely to warp. They are also known for offering excellent impact strength.
• Imidized Plastics: Polyamide-imide, polybenzimidazole, and polyimide are all imidized plastics. Imidized plastics have a good load bearing and chemical resistance. They can be used for applications that will be used in high temperature environments.
• Polyethylene (PE): Polyethylene is perfect for applications that require warp resistance and stiffness. Polyethylene is durable sustainable, and suitable for products that come in contact with food. PE is used to make everything from buckets to appliance housings.
• Polypropylene (PP): Polypropylene is known for its heat, chemical, and fatigue resistance. Polypropylene can be combined with additives. It is flammable vulnerable to UV radiation. Polypropylene is used to produce many items including water bottles, food containers and outdoor furniture.
• Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): ABS is cost effective and easy to manufacture. ABS is known for being strong, impact resistant, and stiff. ABS is not sensitive to humidity or temperature. ABS is commonly used for appliances, automotive parts and toys.
• Polyoxymethylene (POM): POM offers good dimensional stability, high rigidity, and low friction. Polyoxymethylene is heat, flame, and chemical resistant. POM is used to manufacture medical devices, eyeglass frames, guns, automotive parts and more.
• Polystyrene (PS): Polystyrene is another common plastic used in manufacturing. It is known for being odorless and nontoxic. PS is used for single use products like cutlery and electronics.

Injection Molding Specifications and Tolerances / /

The specifications and tolerances of injection molding can ensure that a part fits correctly once it is assembled. Tolerances and specifications also affect how a part should be shaped to maximize function. Taking the optimal tolerance into account for a part is critical for making a premium part at an affordable price.

Injection Molding Finishing Processes / /

After a part has been injection molded, it transitions to the finishing process. Some finishes may be for cosmetic reasons, but others may add to the physical properties of a workpiece. Here are some of the finishing processes offered by Fathom.
