Choosing the Right Injection Mold Manufacturing Company: The Main Factors to Consider

Injection molds and tooling are not all created equal. From mold design to material choice to the manufacturing processes we employ, the quality and longevity of any mold can vary significantly.

Extensive Mold Manufacturing Experience Is Crucial

It takes a wealth of experience in manufacturing injection molds for many different product applications in order to truly optimize your tooling for your specific production needs. We have to consider the product design, geometrical complexity and tolerances, the choice of plastic material, as well as the volume requirements, etc. – to name only a few of the crucial considerations.

Balancing Tooling Costs with End Product Quality Requirements

It’s also important to keep in mind that the highest quality, highest precision mold tooling isn’t necessarily the answer. We have to carefully balance mold quality with manufacturing cost to keep your project economical. For example, we might use lower-strength steel and aluminum materials to save you money on prototype molds that have a short expected service life. On the other hand, we might use premium hardened tool steel materials and higher-precision CNC machining processes for production molds for complex parts.

That’s why the injection mold manufacturing experience we offer at Polyshot Corporation is invaluable to customers in the market for custom tooling. Backed by more than 35 years of innovation and experience, we help injection molding companies worldwide maintain the quality, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of their operations.

The Main Factors to Consider in Choosing Injection Mold Tooling:

Industry Experience

Choose a mold manufacturer backed by a proven track record in your specific industry. Experienced manufacturers are more likely to understand your product’s unique requirements, market expectations, and common production issues. At Polyshot, our experience encompasses:

Automotive part injection molding
Caps, closures, and container solutions
Electronics components
Injection molded medical devices
Various consumer goods and household products

Quality Control and Testing

Obviously, the quality of your end products is largely determined by the quality of the injection mold tooling that you employ. Meticulous quality control is critical throughout the mold manufacturing process to ensure the tooling meets your expectations.

Any manufacturing error or quality issue will be multiplied into hundreds or potentially thousands of products. Detailed testing procedures to assure quality are integrated into the tooling process to identify and eliminate such issues before they reach your production process. At Polyshot, that means:

100% electrical testing of all systems
Dimensional verification in cold and hot states
Proprietary vacuum brazing process
Highly detailed quality control procedures
Pre-delivery testing protocol
