Rapid Injection Molding Service

What is
the rapid injection molding

Rapid injection molding, also called rapid tooling, uses simplified procedures to speed up the manufacturing of plastic parts, such as automated tooling and improved cycle times. It allows for rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing, providing cost-effective alternatives for getting items to market quickly. LUSHI utilizes a variety of thermoplastics, including ABS, polycarbonate, and polypropylene, in rapid injection molding for low-volume manufacturing and prototyping. These materials offer a balance of strength, flexibility, and surface finish, meeting diverse design requirements.

Rapid injection molding is appropriate when time-to-market is crucial, allowing for faster iterations and shorter lead times for prototypes or low-volume production runs. It is economical for small batches, reducing the need for costly tooling. This method is useful for testing designs, validating concepts, and satisfying urgent manufacturing requirements.

Low-volume injection molding technology

Rapid injection molding accelerates industrial processes by allowing for speedier prototyping, faster product revisions, and shorter time-to-market. It provides cost-effective alternatives for low-volume manufacturing while eliminating the expensive initial tooling costs associated with traditional approaches. This adaptability fosters innovation, allowing businesses to respond quickly to market demands and acquire a competitive advantage across industries.

3D printed injection mold for low-volume production

A 3D printed injection mold is a low-cost alternative for low-volume production. These molds can be manufactured rapidly and precisely using 3D printing technology, resulting in considerable reductions in lead times and tool costs. Ideal for prototype and small runs, they provide flexibility and rapid iteration, allowing producers to efficiently test and enhance designs before committing to high-volume manufacturing.

Post Processing for Plastic Injection Molding

LUSHI's post-processing for plastic parts includes surface finishing, painting, and plating, which enhance aesthetics, functionality, and durability, ensuring high-quality, tailored solutions for various applications and industry requirements.

Standard Finish

Tooling or mold polishing are common methods used to generate a smooth or matte surface texture for injection molded products. These finishes are excellent for many sectors without the need for extra surface treatment since they offer a clean look and basic functionality for a wide range of applications.

SPI A

The SPI grade A indicates a high-quality finish suitable for applications requiring a polished appearance, minimal surface defects, and fine texture. It ensures parts meet aesthetic and functional standards.

SPI B

SPI B surface finish standard denotes a medium polish finish with clearly visible tool marks eliminated. It provides a smooth surface ideal for general-purpose uses when minimal roughness and visual appeal are required.

SPI C

SPI Class C refers to a surface finish standard for injection molded parts. It involves a medium level of polish, suitable for parts requiring a smooth finish with some visible tooling marks acceptable. This standard is commonly used in consumer goods and industrial applications.

MoldTech (Mold Texturing)

Injection molds are given complex patterns or textures using a process known as mold texturing, or mold technology. Through improved surface smoothness, grip, and overall aesthetics, this procedure improves the look and performance of injection molded parts for a variety of applications across industries.

VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure)

The VDI (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure) offers rules and standards pertaining to design, manufacturing, and quality assurance for injection molded products. The production of injection-molded components is guaranteed to be consistent, reliable, and compliant with industry best practices thanks to these standards.

Laser Engraving

Laser engraving offers precise and permanent marking solutions, ideal for part identification, branding, or aesthetic enhancements. It provides high-resolution designs with minimal material removal, ensuring durability and maintaining part integrity.

LUSHI offers quick turnaround, cost-effectiveness rapid tooling for prototyping and small-batch manufacturing.
