Systematically controlling the variables that would result in defective or low-quality parts.
The principles and technologies associated with scientific injection moulding
Tex Plastics applies the latest scientific injection moulding practices and tools, coupled with the experience of our highly experienced team and their innovative approach to engineering and quality control. This combination ensures the optimal plastic injection moulding process control, repeatability and part quality. It gives design engineers the ability to optimise part design for unique applications based on past learnings and expertise. This knowledge can also be used to optimise new tool design. Or if inheriting a tool, optimise poorly designed tooling. This is because recorded data can be used to assess quality control and make any necessary tweaks to improve overall part quality.
The benefits of scientific injection moulding
- A data-driven process producing repeatable results with little or no variation
- Facilitates smart materials selection
- Optimised process and cycle times
- Enhanced material consumption
- Consistent repeatability and part quality for every set-up and part run
- Better flow control with no weld lines or surface flaws
- Reliable process documentation
The goal of scientific injection moulding
The goal of scientific moulding is to save developmental costs and time by eliminating trial and error in the design process. It starts by focusing on part design, mould design, material selection, and the measurement of plastic injection moulding process parameters, which creates dependable, defect-free tooling that eliminates costly mould rework, and improves part quality. Finally, it accelerates time to market, and creates a repeatable and easily auditable manufacturing process.
