Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce large volumes of plastic parts. The injection molding process involves injecting molten plastic material into a mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. Then eject the molded plastic part. This method is widely used because it can create complex shapes with high precision and consistency, making it ideal for mass production. The injection molding services, in addition to the rapid completion of bulk plastic parts, also have a lower cost of characteristics.
At HordRT, plastic injection molding is one of our core services. With over 11 years of experience, we provide on-demand manufacturing from prototype to production. As an injection molding manufacturer, we handle projects of any size or complexity, delivering high-quality parts, competitive pricing, and quick lead times. Best of all, we have no minimum order requirements.
How Custom Plastic Injection Molding Works
Key Steps in Plastic Injection Molding:
- Setting up the mold to the injection molding machine.
- Feeding and melting the thermoplastic
- Injecting the molten plastic into the mold
- Holding and Cooling.
- Ejecting and Finishing processes.
The injection molding process can be repeated hundreds or thousands of times rapidly, which helps amortize the cost of tooling and reduces the cost of each unit to just a few dollars or less. At HordRT, our tools may feature a single cavity or hundreds of cavities, allowing for the production of countless parts. The manufacturing cycle varies based on the material, size, and complexity of the part.
Plastic Injection Molding Materials
Our robust supply chain ensures that we source the highest-quality materials for your project. We work directly with manufacturers and their authorized agents to provide you with top-grade injection molding materials, accompanied by detailed technical datasheets for each. This approach helps prevent potential issues related to material sourcing. For standard applications, we recommend our stock materials, which are both cost-effective and efficient. However, if your project requires specialized materials, we can accommodate those needs to meet your exact specifications.
The following materials are the most commonly used for plastic injection molding:

HordRT Injection Mold Classes
We produce injection molding tooling mainly from aluminum or tool steel. Our molds are currently best suited for low-volume rapid injection molding. All tooling complies with SPI mold classification standards.
SPI Mold Classification | Cycle Count | Description |
101 | 1,000,000 or more. | HordRT 101-grade steel molds are designed for over 1,000,000 cycles. Made from premium materials, these Class I molds are perfect for multi-cavity structures, and prototype production. |
| 102 | Up to 1,000,000. | HordRT 102-grade steel molds are ideal for medium to high production volumes and parts requiring close tolerances, especially with abrasive materials. Known for high quality and reasonable pricing, these Class II tools meet the demands of large-scale part production. |
| 103 | Up to 500,000. | Designed for up to 500,000 cycles, HordRT Grade 103 steel molds are ideally suited for low to medium production needs and offer excellent value in the general price range. Also known as Class III tools, they are reliable and durable for a variety of manufacturing applications. |
| 104 | Up to 100,000. | HordRT 104-grade steel molds are designed for up to 100,000 cycles. Ideal for low production volumes and non-abrasive materials, these Class IV molds provide a cost-effective solution for small production runs. |
| 105 | Up to 500. | HordRT 105-grade steel molds are designed for up to 500 cycles, specifically for prototype production. Constructed with a focus on cost-effectiveness, these molds are ideal for producing a small quantity of prototype parts. Known as Class V tools. |
Benefits of Injection Molding Service
Injection molding is the fastest, most reliable, and cost-effective way to produce hundreds or thousands of high-quality plastic parts. At HordRT, our rapid injection molding services combine efficiency, precision, and flexibility to bring your ideas to life.
Fast Production & High Efficiency
The injection molding process is highly efficient, which can produce an incredible amount of parts per hour.
Wide Material Selection
Choose from a broad range of plastics, including ABS, PE, PS, PP, and more. We can even combine multiple materials to meet your unique product requirements.
Scalability & Repeatability
From prototype to full-scale production, our molds deliver consistent, repeatable results. Aluminum molds last 5,000–10,000 cycles, while steel molds handle over 100,000 cycles—perfect for both small and large production runs.
Cost-Effective Production
The injection molding process can be repeated hundreds or even thousands of times rapidly, which helps amortize the cost of tooling and reduces the cost per unit to just a few dollars or less.

Addition Injection Molding Options
In addition to our standard injection molding services, we also offer Over-Molding and Insert Molding to meet specialized production needs.
Over-molding
Over-molding, also known as two-shot or multiple-material molding, is a custom injection molding process that seamlessly combines two or more materials into a single part or product. Typically, it involves a rigid plastic base component overlaid with a thin, flexible, rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) layer or other materials. This can be achieved using either a single-shot (insert molding) or two-shot (multiple-shot molding) technique. Over-molding offers enhanced functionality, improved ergonomics, and aesthetic appeal, making it an excellent option for your next project.
Insert Molding
Insert molding, also known as metal insert molding, is a manufacturing process. It involves embedding metal components into a part during the injection molding cycle. This integrates the inserts directly into the molded plastic, effectively eliminating post-molding assembly operations and reducing manufacturing costs.
