Injection Molding
Injection molding is one of the manufacturing methods frequently used by D4E. However, we recommend it only when the quantity exceeds 150 units, as the tooling costs are high. Injection molding involves various tooling options, each suited to different part designs based on factors like shape, size, and wall thickness. D4E has accumulated extensive experience over the years in selecting and managing the right tooling and materials for complex and challenging parts.
Extensive material testing has been conducted on this critical part, exploring options such as glass-filled and talc-filled liquid crystal polymer, as well as nylon
