| Finishing Option | Typical Effect | Suitable Materials | Typical Use |
| Standard Mold Finish | Machined or lightly polished mold surface. | All plastics | Internal and functional parts |
| Texturing | Etched texture that hides flow lines and adds grip. | ABS, PC, PP, nylon | Housings, handles, consumer products |
| High-Gloss Polish | Mirror-like surface. | ABS, PC, PMMA | Lenses, visible covers |
| Painting & Plating | Colored or metallic cosmetic finish. | ABS, PC/ABS | Consumer electronics, automotive trim |
| Pad Printing & Laser Engraving | Logos, icons, and markings. | Most plastics | Buttons, panels, branded parts |
| Capability | Typical Value |
| General Tolerances | Typically ±0.05–0.1 mm, depending on part size and material |
| Tooling Lead Time | Confirmed after DFM review and mold design |
| Prototype Parts | Quick-turn samples through prototype tooling |
| Order Quantity | Flexible; from low volume to mass production |
Plastic injection molding injects molten plastic into a mold cavity to produce parts with high repeatability and low unit cost at volume. Choose it for medium to high volumes and parts that need consistent quality.
A range of materials is available, including ABS, Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylene (PP), Nylon (PA), POM (Acetal), TPE / TPU / Silicone. The best choice depends on strength, appearance, operating environment, and budget. Our engineers can help you select the right one during the quote review.
Achievable tolerances depend on material, part size, and geometry. Typical values are listed on this page, and tighter tolerances can often be held on critical features. Share your drawing and we will confirm during the DFM review.
Yes. We support everything from a single prototype to ongoing production programs, so you can scale without changing supplier.
Cost depends on material, part size and complexity, quantity, tolerances, and finishing. Upload your CAD model and drawing to receive a quote, and our engineers can suggest design changes that reduce cost.
We accept common 3D CAD and 2D drawing formats, including STEP, STP, IGES, STL, SLDPRT, X_T, DXF, DWG, and PDF. If your format is not listed, please contact us.
Lead time depends on process, quantity, and finishing. Prototypes can often ship within a few business days, and we ship worldwide. Contact us with your requirements for a lead-time estimate.
Main factors are part size and complexity, number of cavities, mold steel, surface finish, and expected volume. We provide a quote after reviewing your CAD model and target quantity.
