Aluminium alloy plastic injection mould tools have become very popular. The escalating need for reduced costs and short lead times have made alloy plastic injection mould tools the preferred choice for many projects,. Using such technologies, we're able to make injection mould tools quicker and at lower cost than the competition. How?
A significant number of plastic injection mould tools are made using aluminium alloys. Unlike elemental aluminium which is soft and practically unsuitable for the majority of plastic injection mould tools. On the other hand, alloy mould tools are much tougher and capable of making hundreds of thousands of mouldings. - see Comparison Chart.
Component mouldings are made with less distortion, stress, warpage and post mould shrinkage. Due to the tool and component temperature being significantly closer on ejection.
Why use C3 for Injection Mould Tools
By investing in technology, we can make plastic injection mould tools at lower cost and in reduced time.
SLA
The design time and construction period for plastic injection mould tools can be reduced further if "SLA evaluation models" are produced prior to making new parts. These models require 3D CAD drawings. These drawings can be used by our plastic injection mould tool design and manufacture software, to further eliminate some, of the normally required design time.
Our machining and software capabilities differ from many others, 3D 5 axis CNC machines mean jobs are run almost completely automatically. This enables your mould tools to be made in less time than with other systems.
