~ PRODUCING YOUR PLASTIC PARTS~

Ejector half of a One cavity production Mold in a 400 ton injection molding machine

Producing your parts, in North America or the Orient. Injection molds run production orders of thousands to millions of parts from your mold. Set up costs spread over larger orders mean reduced costs. 

If price is more important than close control, and there are no security issues on your part, the Orient can be quite cost effective. DC Design has the contacts, experience & knowledge to guide you into overseas savings!

Staying close to home has many benefits including closer control, easier shipping,  simplified trouble shooting, face to face meetings and supporting our own economy.

Either way, it is your choice. Learn all the facts and make an informed, guided decision. We have contacts from Canada, USA and China who all provide excellent services.

Plastic production info:
Molten plastic is injected into steel at pressures of 20 to 30,000 p.s.i.
apposing hydraulic tonnage is generated to hold the steel mould together at these forces.
The molten hot plastic will 'flash' (seep out between steel plates) at about .001" inch
Steel moulds are manufactured to tolerances of .0002" inch to eliminate 'flash' (see above)
Size comparisons:
.0035" = human hair
.0010" = dust particle / plastic 'flash'
.0005" = fingerprint depth
.0002" = industrial smoke particle size / steel mould production
.0001" = tobacco smoke
