It has minimalized tooling costs, enabling a bright color palette and simple adjustments. In fact, thermoforming is best for producing 250 to 3000 units. Whereas, injection molding is appropriate for larger volume and production runs.

We deliver plastic fabrication solutions including plastic injection molding, thermoforming, CNC machining, stamping, extruding and other plastic product or part solutions.

The presses for plastic injection molding (also known as injection presses) vary in size from close-tolerance for small plastic parts to large plastic parts. The process uses molds in which the plastic is cold runner or hot runner depending on the end product. Hot runner is more complex and usually used when the part is injected into another part. The plastic injection molding process is rated based on pressure or tonnage.

Industries that use acrylic mirror injection molding include, but are not limited to manufacturing, machinery, packaging, building and construction, automotive, agricultural, textiles, transportation, electrical, electronic, consumer products, institutional products, food and beverage, oil & gas, oilfield, and more.

Plastic molding processes, including acrylic mirror injection molding, such as thermoforming, blow molding, extruding, and other plastic forming techniques are commonly used in manufacturing.

At Aline Components, we work with you to determine if insert molding is right for your plastic part or component, and if so, what material is best suited for the application. We take pride in helping our customers obtain the solutions they need for their product or system to perform to the highest level.

Plastic manufacturing and the evolution of thermoplastic injection molding technology has continued to develop with a range of innovative options that add potential savings and performance. Aline Components is a leading plastic injection molding company serving the Tri-State area with the finest plastic parts and employing the most advanced custom plastic injection molding equipment and expertise. Composite molding, also known as core-back molding, is a relatively recent thermoplastic injection molding technique that makes use of innovations in material science to enhance new products and components.

Thermoforming: Using this manufacturing process, only single-sided plastic fabrication can be done. Furthermore, thermoforming is divided into vacuum form and pressure form styles.

Hydraulic: It came into dominance back in the 1930s, and till date, it uses hydraulic cylinders to clamp the plastic together in the mold. These are best for producing automotive plastics which requires bulk production.

Composite molding uses a two-shot molding technology to add a layer of high performance composite material onto another molded element made from a more rigid plastic. The rigid component acts as a substrate for the composite material. The composite has expansion properties during the curing process, and, after cooling, the final component now has a thick layer of composite firmly affixed to the rigid substrate. Core-back molding has the capability to add more structural strength to components with little added weight, making it an ideal choice for many types of applications where this structural efficiency is desired. New products using core-back molding can also provide this greater strength at a reduced cost to the consumer.

Electric: It was originally introduced in Japan back in 1984, but now it sells about half of the IMM machines in the entire USA. These machines have highly remote-controlled servo motor with even higher speed. This leads to faster, reliable, repeatable, and more correct operations.

Hybrid: This manufacturing process of plastic injection molding has been in the market for decades, and Custom Industrials Company agrees to it as well. It combines the clamping force of Hydraulic manufacturing with a noise-free operation because of the electric machines. They come in two varities vertical and horizontal. Horizontal is the most common where the mold part or opens on the horizontal. The vertical molding machines are use for insert molding of metal components so the is no need for mechinical means to hold parts in a horizontal mold. Gravity holds the inserts in place. Metal parts such as threaded inserts, stamped parts and other higher temperature plastics that don't melt in the primary plastic are molded in this process. Molding plastics over other plastics is called overmolding.

Both types of molding machines work well for the thick and thin-walled parts of the plastic that is intended to be melted.

It is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic parts and plastic products from both thermoplastic and thermosetting materials.
