The process involves injecting a molten plastic material under pressure into a mould to reproduce the exact shape.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How much does an injection mould cost?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1485236495168-a95a6be0-bf7a&#8221;][vc_column_text]Injection moulds are precision built to withstand the extreme pressures involved in the injection moulding process. Moulds costs start at a few thousand dollars and can go up to many thousands of dollars.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How to design a part for injection moulding?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1485236615076-ad9e95d1-1354&#8243;][vc_column_text]Modern manufacturing has seen the design of injection moulded products evolve to a very advanced degree in recent decades. All injection moulded products are designed in 3D utilising modern software taking into account the complex moulds that are required top produce the product. Draft angles are incorporated into the product design to enable the part to release form the mould and advanced simulation software is usually employed to simulate manufacturability.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How to design an injection moulding tool?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1485236667119-d748db24-102c&#8221;][vc_column_text]As per the design of the product, 3D software is employed in designing the tooling. Many considerations are taken into account such as best injection location, product geometry to determine location of mould split lines, efficient cooling design for the various components.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3toh2\"><strong>For More Information Call Sneddon &amp; Kingston Plastics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To learn more about our design and manufacturing capabilities, <a title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skplastics.com.au\/contact-us\/\">contact<\/a> us.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Frequently Asked Questions [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What is IML?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1485236087931-15c0d6d9-8222&#8243;][vc_column_text]IML, (in-mould labelling), refers to a manufacturing process where we can incorporate printed labels during the plastic injection moulding phase.
