What is Injection Molding?

Injection molding is a manufacturing process where molten material is injected into custom molds to produce durable, high-quality parts with exceptional accuracy. It’s ideal for mass production and supports a wide range of applications.

Our Advanced Technology

Bigmate Philippines uses advanced Injection Molding Machines for precision, efficiency, and reliability in every projects. Our machines feature:

  • Injection Unit: Melts and injects plastic materials with precision.
  • Clamping Unit: Secures the mold firmly during the injection and cooling phases.
  • Custom Molds: Engineered to match your unique product specifications for optimal results.

We use hot runner systems to keep plastic flowing smoothly during production, reducing waste and improving efficiency. This method is ideal for high-volume projects needing consistent quality and smooth finishes. We also prevent defects, such as flash, ensuring perfect products every time.

Key Differences of injection molding vs Insert molding

Aspect Injection Molding Insert Molding
Definition
Produces fully plastic parts from one material.
Integrates pre-placed plastic inserts into the final part.
Output
Single-material plastic parts.
Fully plastic parts with embedded inserts.
Customization
Limited to one material per product.
Allows combining complementary plastics.
Cost
Lower cost for single-material production.
Higher due to insert preparation.

Fun Facts About Injection Molding

  • The process of injection molding was invented in 1872 by John Wesley Hyatt, initially to produce billiard balls. It revolutionized manufacturing by enabling mass production of intricate plastic parts, and today, it remains a core method in industries worldwide. What began as a solution for billiard balls has grown into an indispensable process for producing everything from automotive parts to household goods.
  • Multi-shot molding is a technique that allows manufacturers to inject multiple types of material (often different colors or properties) into the same mold in a single production cycle. This process not only enables the creation of parts with multiple colors or materials but also increases functionality. For example, a single part can feature a hard outer layer and a soft, rubber-like interior, all produced in one step, enhancing product performance while saving time and resources.
  • Insert molding allows manufacturers to combine multiple components into a single, durable part, reducing assembly time and enabling highly customized designs for a wide range of industries.
  • Hot runner molding is a revolutionary advancement in the injection molding process that eliminates the need for runners—channels that direct molten plastic to the mold cavities. Instead, it uses a heated manifold system to keep the plastic in a molten state as it flows directly into the mold cavities. This innovation offers significant benefits in terms of efficiency, sustainability, and product quality.
  • An often-overlooked benefit of injection molding is its potential for sustainability. The process allows for the reuse of scrap material, which can be re-melted and re-injected into the system. This not only reduces material waste but also helps manufacturers cut costs and decrease their environmental footprint.

FAQs about Injection Molding at Bigmate

To what extent can you handle the post-molding process?

We offer a range of secondary processes, including painting, printing, hot stamping, laser cutting, metalizing, and chrome plating, to enhance your products and add value.

Is it compatible with hot runners?

We fabricate molds with hot runners for efficient mass production, providing consistent quality and reducing cycle times.

Is insert molding possible?

We perform insert molding manually to meet specific client needs, providing flexibility and precision in production.

Is it possible to make a prototype mold?

We don't create prototype molds directly, but we work with a trusted subcontractor who specializes in prototyping. Once your prototype is ready, we can smoothly transition to mass production to bring your product to life.
