Among our customers

Injection molding Molding capacity.

In the dynamic world of furniture manufacturing, injection molding stands as a beacon of innovation and precision. At ScanCastor, we have harnessed the full potential of this technique and specifically tailored our approach to the unique requirements of the furniture industry. We have also developed a state-of-the-art recycling facility that can produce furniture components from recycled material.

Scancastor'sinjection molding capabilities

Capabilities

Injection molding, insert molding, overmolding

Lead time

Starts at 14 working days

Tooling

Rapid Tooling: recommended for 100-10,000 parts / Production Tooling: recommended for over 10,000 parts

Materials

Plastics and resins

Available machines

Single, multi-cavity and family molds; 50 to 1,500+ press tonnage; side actions including hand-filled cores

Mold cavity tolerances

± 0.1 mm when machining the mold and an additional ± 0.05 mm when calculating shrinkage rate

Repeatability from part to part

±0.1 mm or less

Tolerances for critical functions

Tighter tolerances can be requested, but this can increase tooling costs due to extra sampling and care.

Available shape types

Steel (tool steel, carbon steel) and aluminum; production grades range from class 105, a prototype mold, to class 101, a mold for extremely high production.

Injection molding: How it works

1. Request manufacturing

After a consultation, we discuss terms and start the process.

2. Offers and DFM

We perform design-for-manufacturability analysis and prepare your quote

3. Manufacture of tools

After approval of the mold design, we start manufacturing the tool.

4. samples

We produce samples, perform quality assurance and send the samples to you.

5. Completion of production

After approval of the samples, large-scale serial production starts.

6. Delivery

Your parts are delivered to you.
