How Plastic Parts Manufacturers Ensure Dimensional Accuracy

Anything beneath those layers was formed somehow, and at Moldie, we take great pains to ensure every plastic piece we create is the correct size and shape. And one important way we accomplish this is by means special molding techniques.

What is Precision Molding?

Precision molding is the process of shaping plastic using hi tech machinery and tooling in order to deliver parts for new products. We control elements such as temperature and pressure while the object is being molded. This enables us to manufacture parts that are extremely accurate and are the same size and shape every time. This obsession to detail means that our parts fit just like original and work exactly how they are supposed to.

High-end QC Systems for Reliable Performance

In addition to precision molding, we adopt advance automated mechanism to verify the quality of our products. These systems employ the newest technology to monitor every step of making the parts, from scrutinizing raw materials to the final inspection.

By monitoring information and analyzing constantly we are able to see really quickly if there might be issues that would alter how accurate the parts are. That helps us tweak as we go to ensure that every part we make meets our high standards for quality.

Professional Tooling Design for Accurate Production of Parts

Another key in ensuring our parts are on-point is having world-class tooling design. Our experienced, collaborative team of engineers and designers come together to produce molds that meet the unique requirements of each part.

The manufacturing process can now be run up front and piloted with sophisticated software. This helps prevent errors and defects. How we design the tools is very critical for making parts accurately and consistently.

Full Scale Material Analysis for Dimensional Stability

In addition, in order to make right-sized and shaped plastic parts we also have to pay close attention to the materials. At Moldie, we examine and test the plastic we use with our suppliers.

If we understand how things like heat, shrink and flow behave, we can help ensure a stable system by selecting the best materials for the job or modifying our processes to control the changes in the system. This holistic approach has enabled us to make parts that maintain their form over time.

Continuous Measurement and Correction for Precision Manufacturing

Last to have right parts, you constantly have to monitor and adjust your process. Here at Moldie, we have routine tests and measurements to make sure every single element comply with our high standard.

By meticulously monitoring things like machine performance and the surrounding environment, we can quickly identify anything that may detour accuracy. This means we are able to make needed changes on the fly, and be assured that each part is precision made identical to all the others.

In summary, ensuring our plastic parts are the correct size and shape is a complicated ordeal. It takes precision molding skills, quality con- trol systems, skilled tooling design, material scrutiny and daily vigilance. Adopting these best practices and keeping quality as our top priority helps Moldie deliver plastic parts to our customers’ specifications.
