With over 20 years of experience in this field, we have the capacity for all your manufacturing projects of any size or complexity and offer competitive pricing, high-quality parts, and quick lead times on injection molding services.
The Process of Injection Molding
Plastic injection molding is the most common method for mass manufacturing of plastic products. How does it work?
The process of injection molding mainly includes the following steps:
- Setting up the mold to the injection molding machine.
- Feeding and melting the thermoplastic
- Injecting the plastic into the mold.
- Holding and Cooling.
- Ejecting and Finishing processes.
This process is repeated hundreds or thousands of times quickly, which amortizes the cost of tooling and reduces the cost of each unit to a few dollars or less. In Hord, the tool may contain a single cavity or hundreds of cavities to make indefinite parts. Depending on the material, size, and complexity of the part, the manufacturing cycle is different.
The injection molding process is shown in the video. Further Reading: Different Types of Gates for Injection Molding.

Benefits of Rapid Injection Molding
Rapid injection molding is the fastest and most cost-effective way of manufacturing hundreds and thousands of finished plastic parts. And it is one of the most popular business in our company. There are lots of advantages of rapid injection molding.
Fast production and highly efficient
The injection molding process is highly efficient, which can produce an incredible amount of parts per hour.
A large number of materials are available
There is a wide range of materials are available. Ability to use multiple plastic material simultaneously. Commonly used materials including acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP).
Scalability and repeatability
One of the main benefits of plastic injection molding is its high repeatability. An aluminum mold will generally last between 5,000 and 10,000 cycles, and a full-scale steel production mold can last for over 100,000 cycles.
Cost-effective
The injection molding process is repeated hundreds or thousand of times quickly, which an amortize the cost of tooling and reduce the cost of each unit to a few dollars or less.

Addition Injection Molding Options
Over-molding
Over-molding, also known as two-shot, multiple-material molding, two-shot, or 2k molding, is a unique custom injection molding process that combines multiple materials seamlessly into a single part or product. It typically includes a rigid, plastic-base component overlaid with a thin, pliable, rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) exterior layer or other materials using either a single-shot (insert molding) or two-shot (multiple-shot molding) technique. The over-molding process may be an excellent option for your next project after considering its significant advantages.

Injection Molding FAQs
So far, there is over 50 advanced injection molding machines in Chinese Brand from 60 to 1000 tons .In order to meet the different requirement of customers, our equipment is still constantly updated. Generally we can provide thousands of parts in 5 days if there is stock material after we receive customer’s order. Click here to visit our equipment list.
In principle, injection molding is an intricate and complex process. An injection molding machine has three main parts: the injection unit, the mold, and the clamp. Plastic pellets in the hopper feed into the barrel of the injection unit. Inside the barrel, a screw transport the pellets forward. Heater bands wrapped around the barrel warm up the plastic pellets. As the pellets are moved forward by the screw, they gradually melt, and are entirely molten by the time they reach the front of the barrel. Once enough molten plastic is in front of the screw it rams forward like the plunger of a syringe. In a matter of seconds, the screw injects the molten plastic into the empty part of the mold called the cavity image. The plastic solidifies in under a minute, the mold pens and part is ejected. The mold then closes, and the process repeats.
It depends on the material, size and complexity of the part. Generally, tools can be finished in 10-25 days. If it is urgent, tools can be finished with 1 week.
We have no minimum order quantity. We can quote base on required batch quantity.
