What is low volume injection molding?
It is a manufacturing process used to produce small quantities of plastic parts or prototypes. This process is ideal for producing small batches of custom plastic parts quickly and economical.
Low volume injection moulding vs Prototype injection molding vs Rapid Injection molding
Low volume plastic molding is best for small to medium production runs, typically ranging from few hundreds to few thousands parts. This process is ideal for producing high quality parts with exceptional precision and accuracy.
Prototype injection molding is used to create a small number of parts for product development validation and testing purposes. This process is often used early in the design phase to refine product designs before moving into larger-scale production.
Rapid injection molding, as the name suggests, is focused on speed and efficiency. It is ideal for producing parts quickly and cost-effectively, with lead times as short as a few days. However, the quality of the parts may not be as high as those produced using other injection molding methods.
Low Volume Injection Moulding Process
Short run injection molding is a manufacturing process that involves injecting molten plastic into a mold. The plastic is then cooled and solidified, resulting in the final part. This process is highly efficient and can be used to produce plastic parts in relatively low volumes.
It typically uses molds made of aluminum, which is a less expensive and more efficient alternative to steel. Aluminum molds are ideal for creating custom plastic parts in smaller quantities. They can be manufactured quickly and are easy to modify.
It can be improved using MUD (Master Unit Die) inserts. These are ready-made, swapable mold parts, making tool changes faster and cheaper. This cuts down waiting times and makes the molding process more efficient. So, using MUD inserts in low-volume molding can make your production process even more flexible and budget-friendly.
Short Run Injection Molding Advantages
- Shorter lead times
- Lower tooling cost compare to production tools
Short Run Injection Molding Disadvantages
- Limited Quantity
- Higher cost per part
Short Run Plastic Molding Application
It is widely used across many industries. These include automotive, electrical, electronics, medical devices, consumer goods, aerospace, and industrial equipment. It can produce small quantities of plastic parts quickly and efficiently.
Key considerations in injection molding short run tooling Design
- Mold complexity: The complexity of the mold design is an important consideration when producing small quantities of parts. Simple molds are often more economical for low run injection molding, as they require less time to design and manufacture.
- Mold design is important to the small scale injection molding process. It can have a significant impact on the overall cost. We can reduce the tooling costs by making the slides and threads in the mold by manual. However, this could increase the injection molding cycle times.
- Tooling steel: normally we use Aluminum molds or pre-hardened steel for the injection molding low volume manufacturing
- MUD Insert or changeable inserts: Standard mold base, only need to manufacture the insert to save time and money
Low Volume Injection Molding Cost
Short run injection molding cost = raw material cost + injection molding production cost + Set up cost
