Custom Plastic Manufacturing and Custom Plastic Parts

A Proven Custom Plastic Parts Manufacturer 

Custom plastic injection molding is a versatile manufacturing process used across a wide variety of industries including automotive, healthcare, packaging, toys, and consumer products. If the product or parts of the product are made of plastic, chances are they were made with plastic injection molding .

ICOMold’s international team of custom plastic molding experts has decades of combined experience in designing, building, and prototyping plastic parts. This experience can help customers take any project from design to production and make the process of custom plastic injection molding smooth and easy.  

What Is Custom Plastic Molding? 

Custom plastic molding is the process of making plastic parts with an injection-molding machine. Injection molding is an economical and efficient manufacturing process that can be used to make large quantities of the same or similar parts. The process starts by making a metal mold of the part. A mold consists of two blocks of metal, typically steel or aluminum, that are machined to create a cavity on each side. The two sides of the mold are then brought together in the injection-molding machine. The machine shoots molten thermoplastic into the mold to fill the cavity. After the part has cooled, the mold is opened, the part is ejected, and the process starts over.  

Custom Plastic Manufacturing Capabilities 

ICOMold prides itself on decades of combined experience as a leader in the industry of custom plastic molding. Whether the project requires hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of custom plastic parts manufactured, ICOMold can design and build the most cost-effective custom plastic molds using the most advanced technologies and methods.  

Custom Plastic Molding – The Complex Made Simple 

The process of taking a part from concept to final product can be complex. The information available on the internet about custom plastic molding can be dry, long, or overly technical. And not without good reason, there is a lot that goes into injection molding. Designing a mold for a custom plastic part requires knowledge, experience, and a very precise kind of expertise. The potential problems can include failed parts, quality and safety issues, and cost overrun in both mold making and part production.  

ICOMold by Fathom will guide you through every step of the custom plastic molding process. Decades of experience and expertise makes ICOMold the easy choice. ICOMold can produce extended parts runs on high-speed machines that will output quality, custom plastic products. 

Plastic material selection is a crucial decision in the customer plastic molding process. The experts at ICOMold have years of experience to help you choose the right material for the project. Material choice will not only affect the performance of the final product but the price as well. Custom plastic manufacturing materials look and behave differently under differing circumstances. The experts at ICOMold are happy to help with these types of decisions, whether it’s the best material for the job or if a different material can be substituted to reduce project costs.

Custom Plastic Molds 

We use the best material available because the final part quality depends on the precision of the custom plastic mold. This is especially true for custom plastic parts that are part of an assembly and must fit together precisely to make a complete product. In these cases, it is vital that each plastic part is molded from precision tools that are made to the exact custom specifications and run on the appropriate plastic injection molding machines. ICOMold is able to approach these complex projects with confidence because of our long and successful track record.  

Flexibility. Teamwork. Resourcefulness. 

A custom plastic manufacturer should be viewed not only as an expert resource but also as an additional member of your team. ICOMold’s goal is to bring your product to life.  

The custom plastic parts manufacturer you choose will become a vital part of your product manufacturing process. Components produced by your chosen manufacturing partner will play a major role in enhancing your company’s product and sales. The choice of a custom plastic manufacturing company will be a key factor in your success, whether you’re sourcing plastics for containers, toys, medical devices, electronics, automotive, or aerospace. Most custom plastic manufacturing products can be made in multiple ways. The ICOMold team of experts will help you decide the best and most economical way to go.
