Injection Molding Service
Almost every plastic part around you was manufactured using injection molding: from car parts, to electronic enclosures, and to kitchen appliances.
Injection molding is so popular, because of the dramatically low cost per unit when manufacturing high volumes. Injection molding offers high repeatability and good design flexibility.

Injection Molding Tolerances
All surfaces will have a consistent visual appearance.
Parts will have the support structures removed and will be cleaned of all excess support/build material.
For non-critical applications, such as for some consumer products, the tolerance for injection molded parts is typically ±0.1mm. For applications that require tighter tolerances, such as injection molded medical parts, ±0.025mm is typical.
The molds will be CNC machined to standard tolerances of ±0.125mm (±0.005") after adjusting for part shrinkage. Tighter tolerances can be requested and may increase the cost of tooling.
Part-to-part repeatability is typically under 0.100mm(0.004").
Unless otherwise specified, all quotes are based on the assumption that standard injection molding equipment will be used. If special tooling configurations are required, they must be expressed during the quoting process.
