Frequently Asked Questions
-
1
What are your prices?
Our prices are subject to change depending on supply and other market factors. We will send you an updated price list after your company contact us for further information.
-
2
Do you have a minimum order quantity?
MOQ refers to the smallest number of units that a supplier, such as a plastic injection moulding company, is willing to produce in a single order. Several factors influence MOQ in plastic injection moulding. These include production cost, complexity of the mould design, and type of material used. Setting an MOQ ensures that each production run is economically viable for the manufacturer, balancing the overhead costs of setting up the machinery and producing the moulds. DX Mold do not have MOQ requirement

5
What is injection moulding and how does it work?
Injection moulding is a manufacturing process used to produce parts by injecting molten material into a mould cavity. The material is then cooled and solidified to form a finished part. The process is automated and can produce high volumes of parts with consistent quality.
-
6
What types of materials can be used in injection moulding?
A wide range of materials can be used in injection moulding, including thermoplastics, elastomers, thermosets, and metals. The choice of material depends on the requirements of the part, such as strength, durability, and temperature resistance.
-
7
What are the advantages of injection moulding over other manufacturing processes?
Injection moulding offers many advantages over other manufacturing processes, such as high production volumes, consistent quality, and low labour costs. The process is also versatile and can produce a wide range of part sizes and shapes.
-
8
What factors affect the quality of injection moulded parts?
Several factors can affect the quality of injection moulded parts, including the material used, mould design, injection pressure and temperature, cooling rate, and part ejection. Any deviation in these factors can lead to defects such as warping, sink marks, and voids.
-
9
How can injection moulding defects be prevented or corrected?
Injection moulding defects can be prevented or corrected by monitoring and controlling the moulding process, making design changes, using better quality materials, and maintaining machinery and equipment.
-
10
How can sustainability be incorporated into injection moulding?
Sustainability can be incorporated into injection moulding by using recycled or biodegradable materials, reducing waste and energy consumption, and implementing eco-friendly practices in the manufacturing process
-
11
What are some innovative technologies in injection moulding?
Some innovative technologies in injection moulding include 3D printing of moulds, controlled foaming, and nano-additives for enhanced properties.
-
12
What are the industry standards for injection moulding?
The industry standards for injection moulding are defined by organizations such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These standards cover areas such as material selection, mould design, process control, and part testing.
-
13
What are some common applications of injection moulding?
Injection moulding is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, electronics, medical, and consumer goods. Common applications include automotive parts, electronic enclosures, medical devices, and packaging.
-
14
How can injection moulding contribute to the circular economy?
Injection moulding can contribute to the circular economy by implementing closed-loop systems for material recycling, reducing waste and energy consumption, and designing products for easy disassembly and reusability.
