Plastic Injection Molding
Plastic injection molding is the process of melting plastic resins (thermosetting/thermoplastic polymers) and injecting them under pressure into a mold cavity, where they fill and solidify to form the final product.
| Standard capabilities | Description |
|---|---|
| Mold cavity tolerances | ±0.05 mm |
| Standard lead time | 15 business days or less |
| Part to part repeatability | ±0.1 mm |
| Production grade | 1-100,000 cycles |
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of converting flat sheets of steel or aluminum into metal structures or products by cutting, punching, folding, and assembling.
| Dimension detail | Tolerance |
|---|---|
| Edge to edge, single surface / Edge to hole, single surface / Hole to hole, single surface | +/- 0.005 inch |
| Bend to edge / hole, single surface | +/- 0.010 inch |
| Edge to feature, multiple surface / Over formed part, multiple surface | +/- 0.030 inch |
| Bend angle | +/- 1° |
Vacuum Casting
Vacuum casting is a manufacturing process where the material goes into a silicone mold with a vacuum to produce complex production parts.
| Standard capabilities | Description |
|---|---|
| Maximum build size | +/- 0.025 mm (+/- 0.001 inch) |
| Standard lead time | Up to 20 parts in 15 days or less |
| Dimensional accuracy | ±0.05 mm |
| Layer thickness | 1.5mm - 2.5mm |
Die Casting
Die casting is a process of manufacturing parts by pouring or forcing molten metal into steel modes to create various kinds of parts.
| Standard capabilities | Description |
|---|---|
| Maximum build size | 300 mm × 650 mm |
| Standard lead time | Up to 20 parts in 15 days or less |
| Dimensional accuracy | ±0.05 mm |
| Layer thickness | 1.5mm - 2.5mm |
Extrusion
Extrusion helps to create complicated parts through a process of plastic deformation. The material is forced to flow through a die or an orifice to achieve the desired shape.
| Standard capabilities | Description |
