Components, Inc., a preferred thermoplastic injection molding
company, answers customers’ growing needs for short
lead times and low costs with innovative short run molding
technology. In the manufacturing industry, it is critical
that you bring your product to market before the competition.
Not only will Aline’s short run thermoplastic injection
molding services help you outdo your competitors, but it
will also help you respond to increased customer demand
by providing you with custom plastic parts or components
at various stages in production.
Short run molding is thermoplastic injection
molding that utilizes alternative materials such as aluminum
and epoxy for the tooling and the mold. Tools or molds produced
from these materials do not have the life expectancy of
hardened steel tool, however, they are significantly less
expensive and take much less time to produce as the materials
can be machined much faster.
Advantages of Aline’s
Short Run Molds
- Remarkable efficiency
- Economical alternative
- Decreased cost-per-part
- Increased output productivity
In plastic injection molding companies, a
short run is measure not by the quantity of parts produced
in a run, but by the time it takes to each one. Generally,
a short run is considered anything up to 24 hours, which
means batches as small as 50 parts or as large as 100,000
parts must be manufactured in a 24-hour period. Due to increased
product customization and just-in-time delivery, our thermoplastic
injection molding company and the short-run industry at
large are experiencing greater demand.
