Author:gly Date: 2024-10-15
In the complex world of aerospace, every component plays a vital role in ensuring safety, efficiency and performance. As a specialist in precision plastic injection molding, PreciKam creates parts that not only meet, but exceed the rigorous standards set by this industry. When you choose PreciKam as your supplier of precision plastic molded parts, you’re not just choosing a service, you’re forging a partnership based on trust, precision and unsurpassed quality. Let us be the wings behind your aerospace aspirations.
Our AS9100D Certification and Controlled Goods Program registration enables our aerospace customers to reach new heights for their own performance. And just as aerodynamics studies the flow of air around an object, aerospace plastic injection molding studies the flow of resin through a mold.
Firstly, modern injection molders can choose from a wide range of plastics that can be recycled after use. By using materials such as PET, PP, and HDPE, it is possible to produce components that can be melted and reused for the production of new parts at the end of their life cycle. This cyclic process reduces the need for new material and minimizes waste.
Quality – producing aerospace plastic injection molding parts must meet precise customer specifications every time. This is a non-negotiable for fight-critical parts and PreciKam applies the same rigour to all other parts and assemblies produced for aerospace applications. Our commitment to quality is seen throughout our manufacturing facility. We assure product quality at every stage of design and manufacturing.
With over twenty years of aerospace and military experience, PreciKam understands the unique requirements of aerospace engineers. Our AS9100D Certification and our experienced team ensure that we produce high-quality parts that meet the strict requirements of our aerospace customers.
Sustainability in the automotive sector is more crucial than ever. The ability of injection molding to contribute to these goals—through lighter components, reusable materials, precision and efficiency, and the use of green materials—makes it an indispensable technique. Additionally, lifecycle analyses and certifications add extra weight to an injection molder’s sustainability efforts.
Confidentiality – PreciKam is Controlled Goods Certified with over 25% of our team CGP registered. We are also in the process of CMMC Certification for data and facility security.
In today's automotive industry, the emphasis on sustainability is omnipresent. The call for ecologically responsible production methods has led to innovations in the use of reusable and recyclable materials in injection molding.
If you are serious about contributing to a greener future in the automotive sector, choosing an injection molder who shares these values is indispensable. Contact us for a consultation or for more information on how we can help you achieve your sustainability goals.
Lowering the overall weight of a vehicle is a direct way to improve fuel efficiency and hence sustainability. With plastic injection molding, light yet durable components can be produced that can replace metal parts.
Cost-effectiveness – the need to maintain cost-effectiveness of aerospace plastic injection molding solutions means we consider important factors such as tooling costs, material costs, and production efficiency. Our flexible production allows for efficient low volume molding (as low as a single unit).
Another crucial element in choosing an injection molder is the availability of relevant certifications. Certifications such as ISO 14001 for environmental and quality management are a strong indication that an injection molder is serious about sustainable and efficient production. These certifications provide an additional layer of reliability and can help sift through the options when selecting an injection molder.
Design capabilities – our expertise in the production of highly complex geometries means we excel at interpreting and producing highly precise designs. PreciKam’s in-house mold design and manufacturing team works hand in hand with our production team ensuring optimal design function with manufacturing feasibility. Your designs change… we don’t.
Secondly, biobased plastics, made from plant-based raw materials, offer an alternative to traditional, fossil fuel-based plastics. They not only reduce the CO2 footprint but also decrease dependence on finite resources.
Nieuwe ontwikkelingen in de sector hebben de weg vrijgemaakt voor het gebruik van biobased kunststoffen of kunststoffen die zijn afgeleid van hernieuwbare bronnen. Dit vermindert de afhankelijkheid van fossiele brandstoffen en maakt de weg vrij voor een duurzamere productie.
Advanced technologies in mold design and production minimize the risk of production errors. The result is less waste and a higher yield of usable products, meaning less material is wasted on rejected products, which is both cost-saving and environmentally friendly.
Our aerospace plastic injection molding services respect high production standards that are maintained through a rigorous Quality Management System. With clean rooms and controlled environment molding and assembly, we meet all regulatory requirements for the aerospace industry. In fact, we are most appreciated for our rigorous Quality Management program.
Thanks to this automation, injection molders can optimize machine operating times, reduce energy consumption, and increase overall production efficiency. Additionally, process automation enables companies to continuously monitor their production processes and make immediate adjustments where needed, resulting in fewer errors and waste.
Regulatory compliance – all materials and processes must comply with the highest standards to ensure the safety and reliability of the final product. Inquire about our Quality Assurance program.
Environmental impact – recyclability and waste reduction are important to PreciKam. Our consideration of environmental impact dictates materials used, and resin regrind possibilities.
Material properties – materials selected must meet specific application requirements. Aerospace engineers expect reassurance that the materials selected can withstand the harshest, most demanding conditions of aerospace environments. Our experience in aerospace plastic injection molding can help you and your team select the resin with the most appropriate attributes such as durability, strength, coefficient of friction, weight and resistance to the working environment.
PreciKam’s wide range of aerospace plastic injection molding services create versatility for the aerospace industry, whether the need is for a tiny connector or a large component.
Injection molding is an art of precision, and this is reinforced by the technology and design of injection molds. A well-designed mold ensures that every produced part meets strict specifications, crucial in the automotive industry where even minor deviations can have significant consequences.
The industrial revolution 4.0 has brought process automation to the fore as a game-changer for many sectors, including injection molding. Advanced software and robot systems allow for automated production lines that can operate with astonishing speed and precision.
An essential aspect of evaluating a product's sustainability is Lifecycle Analysis (LCA). This analysis assesses the total environmental impact of a product from raw material extraction to production, use, and final disposal. In the context of injection molding, an LCA can provide insight into the most efficient and sustainable materials and production methods. For companies in the automotive sector, this offers valuable data to measure and possibly improve their sustainability goals.
