Formero’s Guide to Injection Tooling & Moulding in Australia

Do you have a product and need to bring it to life? Injection tooling and moulding might be the solution you’re looking for. This versatile manufacturing process allows you to create high-quality, complex plastic parts with incredible precision and efficiency. Our comprehensive design guide to Injection Tooling & Moulding will assist you through the steps of creating injection tooling and processing the final moulded parts.

In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know about injection moulding. Master the technology’s basic principles and learn actionable design tips quickly that will save you time and cut costs.

Key Topics Covered in Our Design Guide:

1. Defining Plastic Part Requirements: Understanding the specific needs of your plastic parts is crucial. Our guide helps you identify and define these requirements to ensure your parts are manufactured to meet performance expectations.
2. Wall Thickness: Proper wall thickness is essential for the structural integrity of your parts. The guide outlines best practices for determining the right thickness to avoid issues like warping or incomplete fills during moulding.
3. Radii – Rounded Corners: Sharp corners can lead to stress concentrations and part failure. Learn how to incorporate rounded corners into your designs to enhance the durability and longevity of your parts.
4. Ribs: Ribs are used to reinforce plastic parts without adding significant weight. Our guide explains how to design ribs effectively to strengthen your parts while maintaining efficiency.
5. Bosses: Bosses are critical for fastening and assembly purposes. The guide covers the design of bosses to ensure they function correctly in your final product.
6. Draft: Draft angles are necessary to facilitate the easy ejection of parts from the mould. Learn how to apply the correct draft to your designs to prevent damage and ensure smooth production.
7. Undercuts: Undercuts can complicate the moulding process but are often necessary for part functionality. Our guide provides strategies for managing undercuts in your designs.
8. Additional Tips: We offer plenty of additional tips throughout the guide to help you optimise your designs for the injection moulding process.

By following the guidelines in our Design Guide, you can ensure that your injection moulding projects are efficient, cost-effective, and produce high-quality results.
