Plastics have become a part of our everyday life. The low cost economics of plastic has made it as the best alternative for any metal part. Though manufacturing of plastic components by injection molding requires a heavy amount of investment for the die and mold part of it, the cost per plastic component manufactured is relatively very low when produced in high volumes. This enables plastic to share every moment of our human life in all things we use, ranging from the coffee mugs to the automobile dashboards.

 

 

The Injection molding process is a quite versatile one involving the melting of the raw pellets and injecting them into a split mold. The molten plastic is allowed to cool inside the mold to acquire the required shape. The mold is specifically split in order to facilitate the removal of the cooled down plastic product. The whole process of Injection molding is automated in order to have a high productivity rate. The die or the mold remains the heart of any component manufactured. It is this mold that provides complex shapes and precision to the plastic components manufactured. An Injection molding die is normally designed to produce identical components again and again for millions of times. A mold can have multiple cavities in it enabling it to produce multiple parts in each stroke.

 

 

Injection molding in Thailand industry is huge in itself since it comprises many of the major fields of engineering. Any Injection mold manufacturer is bound to have their own facilities comprising of the best design team involving high end CAD/CAM, best measurement facilities to check the molds manufactured for accuracies, capability to produce prototypes, facilities to machine the molds to the best accuracies, a material department to take care of material selection for the molds and good assembly capabilities for assembling the molds. Companies with added facilities like ability to provide a sample from the mold immediately after its production tends to provide an edge over its competitors.
