Post-Molding Painting Processes for Plastic Parts

Post-molding, or secondary, processes can enhance plastic injection molded parts by adding aesthetics and functionality. Painting is one of the most common secondary processes. There are several different painting processes, each of which provides unique solutions for making plastic parts more robust. For instance, stamping may be the best method for painting a logo on a part, whereas spray painting would be a better option for changing the color of the entire part. Or silk screening may be best for applying [...]

Most people have heard of plastic injection molding, but not everyone understands the process involved. Many of our customers give us a CAD model, get back their plastic parts, and what happens in between is a mystery. Basically, injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten plastic into a mold. Plastic pellets are fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity, where the part cools and hardens into the shape of the [...]
