Types of Injection Molding Technologies We Offer
Even though injection moulding usually applies to plastics, it involves several other methods, including LSR, plastic and metal injection moulding. As you can see below, ZCmould offers five different injection moulding services.
Plastic Injection Molding
To make a lot of durable consumer goods, auto parts and enclosures, the technique most often used involves polymers like nylon, PC or ABS.
Two-Color Injection Molding
Is able to make components for industries, wear-resistant equipment and numerous colours of consumer goods by uniting two materials.
Insert Molding
Brings ceramic or metal parts into plastics which are standard in sensor covers, screws and assemblies utilized in electricity.
Overmolding
It is often used for vibration-dampening seals, medical buttons and grips for tools because it covers a hard base with soft TPE or similar stuff.
Silicone Injection Molding
Utilities LSR to produce adaptable seals for automobiles, nipples for baby bottles and products meant for high-temperature use in the medical industry.

Injection Molding Cases
Injection Molding Materials
The injection moulding process uses more than 200 materials, some of which are general-purpose, engineering and high-performance types.
Making modifications to a molecule, introducing fibres or adding flame retardants helps improve base materials. People can use more than 18,000 specialized materials available across the world for different applications.
Injection Molding Material Selection Principles for Product Designers
- The material should be transparent (PC or PMMA), impact resistant (ABS), temperature resistant at high levels (PC or PEEK) and light (PP) according to the function.
- Precise heating of the material is made possible by referring to its shrinkage and fluidity during moulding.
- Go for materials that can be recycled and that are not very expensive. In industries that are regulated such as the food and medical areas, choose only materials certified for food or that will biodegrade.
- ABS
- PE
- PS
- PA
- PC
- PP
- PVC
- PEEK
- PEI
- PBT
- POM
- PMMA
- TPU
- TPE
- PC+ABS

- In the process known as pad printing, strong texts and logos are applied to curved items (tool grips, medical equipment).
- Laser engraving produces permanent marks for certifications such as UL and ISO and serial numbers.
Partner-Enhanced Specialty Finishes
Functional Coatings
- The application of nickel protects electronic enclosures against EMI and RFI.
- Shields consumer electronics from fingermarks and protects them from exposure to sunlight.

Injection Molding vs 3D Printing vs CNC Machining: How to Choose?
The main approaches to making plastic parts are CNC machining, 3D printing and injection moulding; there are certain points to remember when selecting a supplier for each process.
3 Key Scenarios for Choosing Injection Molding:
Mass Production Demand
A larger number of units means a quicker delivery; injection moulding per item can be only 10% of 3D printing expenses when the number of pieces goes over 500.
Material Performance Requirements
Capability to withstand up to 120°C or the property to stretch like silicone seals.
Brand Consistency
The right appearance, textures and color for many units in mass manufacturing can only be stabilized at 99% consistency when injection moulds are used to craft components.
| Factor | Injection Molding | 3D Printing | CNC Machining |
|---|---|---|---|
| Optimal Batch | 1,000+ pieces (steel molds) | 1-100 pieces (prototypes/small batches) | 1-500 pieces |
| Per-Unit Cost | Cheap | Medium | Expensive |
| Material Selection | 200+ engineering plastics/elastomers (ABS, PC, LSR, etc.) | Limited (mainly PLA, resin) | Limited plastics |
| Lead Time | Mold making: 7-30 days; Mass production: 1-3 days per 10,000 pieces | No mold required, 1-5 days delivery | No mold required, 3-10 days |
| Precision | ±0.1mm, VDI 3400 texture | ±0.3mm, layer marks require post-processing | ±0.05mm, mirror polishing |
| Sustainability | High (recyclable materials, waste rate <5%) | Low (resin not recyclable, support material waste 30%+) | Medium |
Injection Molding FAQ
Three key aspects of product design play a role in cutting the costs of injection moulding.
Improvement in product architecture should be the first priority. As a result, the time needed for injection moulding is lesser, since the wall thickness remains the same and does not differ by more than 25%. Also, the way strengthening ribs are designed matter a lot. The thickness should not be more than 60% to 70% of the total wall thickness, to increase the strength of the product and lower the chances of defects. You should incorporate the right draft angles into the design as well. To reduce how long it takes to remove the mold from the item and prevent damages, the sides should be angled at 1°-2° inside and above 0.5°-1° on the outside.
Also, be sure to maximize the kind of material you use. Choose the resources appropriate for the product’s function to avoid their unnecessary use. Also, look at the ease of handling and pick those plastics that are not hard to process, since this will reduce your cost and the time needed.
Third, make the different component designs more unified and organized. Merging several pieces into a single moulded part reduces the parts needed for the product. Making the outside design less detailed by avoiding complicated shapes and decorations can cut mould costs and make the process of making plastics easier.
We provide complete solutions for injection moulding to help creative ideas become reality and offer chances to customise. As we handle the material changes, there is a low fee for administration, ensuring top-quality in multiple color applications. Doing this standard operational action allows you to prevent your product from being mixed during production which keeps it the same every batch.
The use of advanced colour mixing and integration helps our injection moulding processes create superior designs and better functioning. We allow designers to develop unique techniques for medical purposes or stylish colours for consumer devices.
