Plastic injection molding
Precise and fast to small series

Injection molding, an important manufacturing process at 1zu1. How does it work? The chosen material is liquified and injected into a mold under pressure. In this way, we as a manufacturer can produce prototypes from original material and small series up to 100,000 pieces and more.

Clamping force

10 to 160 metric tons

Shot weight, max (PS=polystyrene)

181 g

Component size max.

250 x 150 x 100 mm

Materials

all commercially available thermoplastics, TPE (thermoplastic elastomers)

Properties

transparent – colored, glass-fiber reinforced, high temperature resistant, flame retardant, high gloss and/or texture

Lead time

2–7 weeks

The production of the injection molded parts is carried out exclusively with the aluminum molds manufactured by us. These are manufactured using high-quality, reliable processes that meet the highest demands for precision of plastic parts, shape, material and surface structures.

Our Boy, Arburg, Demag and Sumitomo Demag injection-molding machines generate clamping forces ranging from 10 to 160 metric tons.

When the injection-molding machine is in a vertical position, we can insert a wide variety of parts into the mold and overmold them.

The advantages:

  • We can overmold cables.
  • Make plug parts with insert pins.
  • Injection-mold multi-component parts.

Plastic, our material

We have more than 1,000 different plastic materials that we keep in stock. If your plastic component requires a different or special material, you are welcome to provide this material yourself instead of requesting us to procure it. And without any problems whatsoever.

Further benefits:

  • Since 2015, our injection molding department has been fully air-conditioned.
  • Since 2016, we have also been manufacturing with 3 encapsulated systems in the ISO-certified clean room of class 8. Here, special applications are mostly produced as prototypes or as series parts for medical technology, but also for other industries.

Quality, efficiency, cost-effectiveness – a must at 1zu1 also in injection molding.

Applications

Injection molding is also an important step towards a solution for your project: for prototyping and small series. The injection molded parts are produced with aluminum molds manufactured by us.
