Still have Questions?

What is plastic injection moulding?

Plastic injection moulding is a highly versatile manufacturing process wherein molten plastic material is injected into a mould cavity under high pressure. Once the plastic cools and solidifies, the mould opens to reveal the final product, which can range from intricate components to larger parts used in various industries. This process is widely utilised because it produces complex shapes, high volumes, and consistent quality with excellent detail and precision. You can find out more in the article below.

What products are made from plastic injection moulding?

Plastic injection moulding is employed in the production of a diverse range of products across numerous industries. Common items include automotive components such as interior panels and exterior body parts; consumer electronics like casings for smartphones and laptops; medical devices such as syringes and IV components; household items like kitchen utensils and containers; and industrial parts, including gears and fittings. The versatility of plastic injection moulding allows for the creation of intricate and precise parts tailored to the specific needs of each application.

What are your tolerances for moulded parts?

Our moulded parts adhere to precise tolerances, ensuring dimensional accuracy and consistency. Tolerance specifications are tailored to each project's requirements.

Does it take a long time to produce injection moulding tools?

The time required to produce injection moulding tools can vary depending on several factors, including the part's complexity, the mould's design, and the project's specific requirements. Generally, designing and fabricating injection moulding tools can take several weeks to months, particularly for intricate or customised components. However, technological advancements and manufacturing processes have enabled more efficient tooling production, with some simpler tools being manufactured in a shorter timeframe. At Nordell, we prioritise both speed and precision in tooling production to meet our clients' timelines without compromising on quality. Contact our team to discuss timelines for your project.
