Custom Injection Molding Solutions for Plastic Components
Custom injection molding requirements can be very exacting and difficult to meet. Design and manufacturing engineers can now turn to Crescent Industries for all their injection molding solutions, be it insert molding, over molding, family molding, clean room molding and moldable metal. Serving diverse markets such as medical, safety, defense, electronics and aerospace industries and manufacturing a varied range of plastic products, Crescent is renowned for its high quality and is committed to manufacturing solutions in meeting customer project requirements.
Design engineers today can benefit from the revolutionary insert molding process that works with the placement of a metal insert into a custom-made mold after which the plastic is injected. This allows for highly durable products and enables the manufacture of complex components in a fraction of the time it would have taken to assemble them by hand. Crescent goes a step ahead of this process - it even manufactures the metal inserts, and guides customers through the entire insert molding process, from prototype design to production builds.
Medical device manufacturing has critical requirements that include cleanliness adhering to medical manufacturing protocols and ISO 13458:2003 certification. Some medical plastic components are required to be assembled in a clean room, which is a location with a controlled level of pollutants. Crescent performs clean room custom injection molding operations in an ISO 8 clean room and assembly and packing operations in an ISO 7 clean room. Crescent Medical Plastics has expertise in manufacturing devices such as surgical instruments, dental products, fluid delivery containers and more, giving customers the added benefit of design services and custom fixture building.
For the manufacture of durable, light-weight products such as hand-held devices, over molding is the most preferred custom injection molding technique, involving the molding of two different plastics, one over the other. This results in a sturdy, easy to grip device that is resistant to shock, water and dust. Crescent Industries uses the best quality injection molding equipment that allows simultaneous pre-molding, injection molding and post-molding operations that ensure greater productivity and lesser manufacturing costs.
Another custom injection molding technique is family molding, used to mold all the plastic pieces for a single part. This offers an efficient and cost-effective way to manufacture a set of different plastic parts utilizing a single mold. The individual parts are then assembled post-molding. Crescent Industries' expertise in family molding makes them a preferred manufacturing partner among engineers. In addition to the molding technique expertise, Crescent also aids in material selection, thus ensuring the high quality of the finished product.
Crescent has also embraced Xyloy(TM) injection moldable metal alloy which is a non-ferrous, pelletized alloy that can take to a variety of finishes and coatings for metal components. Its recyclability and sustainable features make it a very popular manufacturing material.
For the best molding solutions, take advantage of Crescent's sixty plus years of experience in the custom injection molding industry and benefit from their end-to-end expertise.
