Caplugs uses injection moulding to manufacture plastic protection and masking products. As mentioned in the blog post, injection moulding is used in industrial production to make three-dimensional plastic parts at scale. This blog post goes into more detail about the advantages of injection moulding for plastic protective products.
Precision moulding for a high level of detail
In injection moulding, liquid plastic is injected into a mould under high pressure. This process can produce complex parts with a high level of detail. This precision in the sizing and geometry of the components makes a difference for high-quality products.
Customisation and design freedom
It may appear that injection moulding is only used to produce large numbers of standard plastic products. However, injection moulding is also used to make custom-made protective solutions. An injection mould can be designed and created to exactly meet the desired geometry, size, and specifications required. Caplugs has a baby injection moulding machine for small runs.
Cost-efficient mass production
The quality of the mould (jig) used in injection moulding is critical. Once this has been created, large quantities of identical plastic products can be produced quickly, using the same mould and a very low error rate. For the production of several identical products in one go, multiple moulds can be used.
Additional cost-savings
In addition to the ability to produce a large number of identical products, injection moulding benefits from high production speed, minimal material wastage, and a highly automated production method that requires little manual work or post-processing.
