Parameters

If your part is relatively simple and already designed in 3D CAD--ready to prototype or produce, then we can quickly and cost effectively provide you with injection molded plastic parts using your CAD model.
We can also model your part in 3D and provide images, drawings, and CAD files.

What is a simple part?

In order to maintain quality products, competitive pricing, and fast delivery, we suggest using the following parameters and materials in the design of your product. We can offer you a variety of other materials, however any adjustments to the following guidelines may affect a product's price and lead time.

Parameters
Your parts should follow these parameters:

Size - In house molding to 16 ounces.

Design should be provided as a complete 3D CAD model. Note: If you do not have a 3D CAD model we can model your part- all we need is sketch, drawing, or sample.

Part should have no undercuts. Undercuts will add significant cost.

Mold cavity will be CNC machined in aluminum (See What is a Simple Part?)

Ejector pins

	Minimum size is .0625 inches
	May add bulge to ribs if the rib is smaller than the ejector pin
	Flat--may indent or bulge if on slanted areas of part
	We generally leave pins a few thousandths long on flat surfaces. This will produce a slight indentation which is usually more desirable than a raised area. We can give you ejector pin locations in advance if requested.

Mold inserts belong to you and will be returned with your parts unless you desire that we keep them for future orders.

Materials
Most common materials include:

	ABS Very good for many applications
	Polypropylene - Strong and flexible
	Polyethylene- More flexible than polypropylene
	High impact polystyrene (HIPS)- Good for many applications
	Vinyl- Flexible PVC- Inexpensive material for soft, flexible parts
	Nylon -Very strong but more expensive
	Polycarbonate- "Lexan"- Very strong- more rigid than nylon
	TPE (Synthetic rubber) Sarlink, Santoprene, etc.
	Acrylic- Very clear- more expensive
	Many other materials available
	*Colors- Natural, black, white, and custom colors. Clear available in ABS, PC, styrene, and acrylic*
