While the initial tooling costs can be high, that initial investment leads to one of the best methods for manufacturing intricate product designs into highly detailed plastic parts.

As we mentioned, a huge advantage of our injection molding services is that the process is exceptionally effective at producing intricate and complex plastic shapes with uniform wall thickness. Achieving highly detailed product designs in a single cycle reduces the need for secondary manufacturing operations and all of the complications that come with them. Features such as undercuts, ribs, and bosses can be easily incorporated into the design to simplify your overall production process and potentially reduce your cost per part.

Injection molding is also compatible with a broad range of different plastic materials. That means you have flexibility in terms of material selection based on the desired properties of the final product. Material versatility gives you more options for customizing the look, performance, and functionality of your products, as well as more options to meet your unique price targets. 

Further adding to material versatility, different additives can be mixed with the base plastic to enhance properties like strength, flexibility, flame retardance, and UV stability. Injection molding can also accommodate composite materials, which combine multiple materials to achieve desired characteristics.

Additionally, with overmolding, we have the ability to combine multiple plastic materials in a single part. This high degree of material versatility allows injection molding to meet extremely specific physical/mechanical properties for end product performance.

Injection molding is able to integrate multiple complex features into a single part – such as hinges, clips, and unique mounting surfaces. In many cases that can simplify your end product with fewer individual parts, while also simplifying any additional assembly operations required for the end product.

Combining injection molding with insert molding, functional inserts made of metal or other materials are encapsulated in the plastic part during the molding process. Premier’s insert molding capabilities further enhance your options for complex functionality and customization.

Once the mold design is finalized, parts can be produced quickly, allowing for rapid prototyping and testing of custom designs. Changes can be made relatively easily when we utilize prototype molds made from specialized, easier-to-work-with materials. Essentially, prototype injection molding facilitates iterative design improvements and customization without significant downtime between runs.
