The Plastic Injection Molding Process

You can’t rely on Chinese or Asian suppliers to give you very thorough information about their manufacturing processes, so to help importers understand the plastic injection molding process, we’ve created a number of videos sharing our expertise.

Here at Sofeast we regularly work with Asian suppliers who manufacture plastic goods and components using injection molding. Some of our engineers used to work in tooling preparation or in a molding workshop, before working for us, so we have significant in-house injection molding experience.

First, a few questions for you:

• Are you familiar with the production process your supplier is actually using?
• Are they using the ideal plastic type for your product?
• Are defects regularly occurring? How to prevent them?

These videos will provide answers for you and a whole lot more to bring you up-to-speed with the injection molding production process.
