Injection molding has a low cost of production, produces highly accurate plastic parts, and can work with any thermoplastic material. Injection molding can handle most production run volumes, produce parts of varying sizes, and is highly repeatable. At HiTech Plastics & Molds, we follow four basic steps in manufacturing a plastic injection molded part that meets your every specification.

We have been established for many years and with our young and vibrant management team have vast experience in all aspects of plastic injection moulding – from the design stages through to the final packaged product.

Once your design is complete, we provide mold-building services. Injection molds are a vital component to creating high-quality plastic parts. We use state-of-the-art tooling and comprehensive quality inspection methods to ensure that we build a mold that meets the strictest requirements for any industry.

Stephens Plastics Mouldings Limited has a large selection of injection moulders to meet your plastic moulding requirements. We’ve been in the plastic moulding business since January 2011, and we’ve served thousands of customers around Birmingham and the West Midlands. We have years of experience, creative and original ideas, and genuine passion. In addition, our objective is to provide the greatest plastic injection moulding to our faithful clients by utilising current machinery and the most up-to-date method. We use an array of materials for our injection moulding, one being Acetal.

Furthermore, acetal is resistant to chemicals, and is especially resistant to alcohols and oils. It is also characterised by very low water absorption. All these qualities are important when choosing what parts to produce by acetal.

HiTech Plastics & Molds is a family-owned ISO 9001:2008 certified contract manufacturer and custom molder. Since 1984, we have provided industry-leading thermoplastic injection molding services from our US-based facilities. We work with most materials, including commodity-grade or engineering-grade plastics, and adhere to the highest quality standards. We are committed to meeting each of your requirements while exceeding all your expectations.

Homopolymers are used for items which will be used in the condition of high fatigue. This is because they have a high resistance to its impact, and they also have high tensile strength. Copolymers, on the other hand, are used for parts which will be subjected to hot water impact or alkalis impact, because they have a high resistance to such impacts.

The third step in the process of creating a prototype is perhaps the most important step in manufacturing your custom injection molded plastic parts. Flaws or performance complications are not always apparent in designs and CAD drawings. By creating a physical prototype, we can address these issues before moving to production. We begin manufacturing only when you are happy with the efficiency and functionality of your part.

It should be noted that in the course of acetal plastic injection moulding, shrinkage cannot be uniform in all directions. So, round parts can become somewhat oval, and there can be some warpage of flat and thin walled parts. These peculiarities have to be taken into account during the design of parts to be made by acetal injection moulding, to obtain optimal parts.

Finally, after your custom mold is designed and produced, your manufacturing process selected, and your prototype perfected, we manufacture your custom plastic parts. When the parts have been ejected from the injection mold, we inspect each component before moving along to further processing or delivery.

Parts which are made by the acetal plastic injection moulding method comprise of: gears, bearings, plumbing fittings, valve housings, pump housings, auto fuel system parts, etc. These are uses where the properties of this material are highly beneficial. For instance, toughness, resilience, and rewarding dimensional stability.

CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding are three common processes used to make a custom plastic part. CNC machining often wastes materials and is associated with higher production costs. 3D printing provides fast turnaround times but works with limited materials.

The first step in the process is to design the plastic part and the corresponding mold. Before manufacturing a custom plastic injection part, you must create a design and build an injection mold. Whether your engineering team creates your design or you require design assistance, HiTech works with you and gives you the exact amount of control you need. From CD cases to military components, we have the design capacities to create your plastic parts.

Once your plastic part design is finalized, the next step is to determine which plastic injection molding manufacturing process to use. Together with your team, we determine which thermoplastic manufacturing service will complete your plastic part manufacturing operation the best:

It can be challenging to determine where to start in mass producing plastic parts. The experts at HiTech Plastics & Molds are here to help walk you through the manufacturing process from design to delivery.

Acetal materials are hard and tough. In addition, they are also resilient and offer high impact resistance at different temperatures, including very low ones. Out of these materials, homopolymers are characterised by the highest strength, and copolymers offer high thermal stability. These properties are taken into consideration when manufacturing items by means of acetal plastic injection moulding.
