What is Rapid Prototyping Injection Molding?

Injection molding is the rapid tooling technique by the infusion of plastic into the steel cavity mold which is a common use for making high-quality end parts production. It is the most efficient way to produce plastic parts in high volumes for commercial and functional using.


As a professional china rapid injection molding supplier, we offer machining and finishing services to make tools from a wide range of materials and can produce 50 to 100,000+ finished parts. With our material verification and quality processes, we can ensure your tools and parts are out of your expectations.

Specification of Rapid Injection Molding

NameDescription
Mold MaterialTool Steel P20, Carbon Steel S50C, Aluminium
Injection Mold Services Categorya. Rapid Tooling
Molds with steel cavity and core with a short life of 5,000-10,000 times which normally machined in 2 weeks.
b. Multi-calvity or Family Molds
Multiple identical cavities or family of parts machined into a single tool, Allows for more parts to be produced per shot, minimizing unit costs
c. Insert Molding
Inserts are placed into the mold and molding occurs around them to extend tool life for critical features. Allows for inserts such as helicoils to be molded in your design.
Standard Tolerance+/-0.010mm
Production TimeAs low as 2 weeks for building mold and the first sample part.
After sample approval, lead time for < 10,000 parts is as low as 1 week.
Lead TimeStarts at 10 business days, including 24-hour quote responses with design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback.
Quality AssuranceDFM analysis, moldflow, CAE, control plan, PSW inspection reports included, full dimensional report and material certifications available upon request, PPAP submitted after starting the production.
ReorderUnit price is based on the quantities required and an additional setup fee of $150 USD.


Rapid Injection Molding Process


As a China rapid injection molding factory, Xin Pin rapid injection molding process typically consists of the following steps.

1. Rapid Injection Molding Mold Making

The mold will be done by CNC machining and EDM according to the structure of the parts.

2. Rapid Injection Molding Material Preparation

The Plastic resin comes from raw pellets.

3. Injection of Melted Resin

The heated mold closes automatically and resin, under great pressure, is injected through a gate and into the mold cavity.

4. Rapid Cooling Injection Molding and Solidification

The mold is cooled in a short amount of time to solidify the part inside.

5. Injection of Final Part

The mold opens and the part is ejected to begin a new cycle.

Rapid Injection Molding Uses


Rapid injection molding is most commonly used for prototype, research, and development applications that do not require hundreds of thousands or even millions of parts. RIM is best suited for production runs of at least 500. This enables engineers to test their concepts with a little capital investment rather than committing to the very expensive, long lead time tooling required for high-volume series production. 


Production injection molds are expensive in part because they must be composed of extremely wear-resistant materials to endure the demands of long-term production. As a result, RIM is frequently used to bridge the gap between initial design and full-scale production, and it is a cost-effective method of testing novel products, materials, and design tools.

FAQs of China Rapid Injection Molding

1 How thick can you injection mold?

On average, the minimum wall thickness of an injection molded part ranges from 2mm to 4mm (080 inches to 160 inches).

2 How do I consider a plastic material for the injection mold?

There are quite a few factors to consider-cost, durability, surface finish, strength, and flexibility are some of the most important ones. You also need to think about how and where your plastic part will be used.

3 Can take the mold away manufacturing the parts by other?

Of course, you can, you just pay us the mold cost can take it away.

4 Why should I choose plastic injection mold?

It is a fast and cost-efficient way to create a few prototypes in a selected material for function and aspect testing, as well as for low-volume manufacturing to test out the market.
