Molding Clear Plastic at TEAM Rapid


TEAM Rapid is one of the best plastic molding manufacturers who offers high quality & cost-effective clear plastic injection molding service. Plastic injection mold making is same important as clear plastic parts molding. Making plastic molds and how to mold plastic are two big topics! Good-quality plastic mold is the foundation of making high-quality clear plastic molding parts!


Mold Polishing Glossy Finish


1. Use the right steel for clear plastic molds building. 

NAK80, S136, and S136H are the universal steels used for the cavity and core at TEAM Rapid. For low-volume clear plastic molded parts such as clear plastic molding and clear plastic molding covers, we usually suggest our customers use NAK 80 or S136H for the plastic injection molds. It is good to have 50,000 + short, clear plastic mold injection parts, even without heat treatment. For the large volume demands, the advantage of heat-treated S136 is over NAK80 and S136H. It is more durable for injected molded plastic.


2. Use the right injection molding plastics for your Clear Plastic Molding. 

TEAM Rapid offers a series of clear injection molding of plastics, such as ABS; PMMA; PC; PS, etc., for your plastic mold injection parts. Material is a critical factor affecting your final product's function and performance. Take a mirror finish lens, for example. PC / PMMA should be the first choice plastic for injection molding. These 2 materials have great properties on finish and transmittance; if you switch the material to clear PP, the performance will be different. Taking full consideration of the material before tooling and clear plastic molding is important! You can get your most expected certificated clear plastic at TEAM Rapid.

SPI finish & texture/sand blasting finish are applied most popularly. Also, depending on the part's requirement, such as the light pipe, we will give according to the customer's needs to add the scale of the light diffusing agent into mold plastic, which will help the light pipe be more suitable for use.


4. Use the right size injection machine to mold your clear parts. 

It is unreasonable to mold your small clear plastic corner molding with a large-capacity plastic molding machine, but this will highly raise the risk of injection defects such as silver streak, air bubbles, surface gloss defects, flow marks, etc., and may lead to a problem on your final product's performance. At TEAM Rapid, we are equipped with a series of injection machines ranging from 50 to 500 tons.

Frequently Asked Questions


How to Make Plastic Molds?(How to Make a Plastic Mold?), (How to Make Plastic Mold?)

The workflow of making plastic molds is as followings: survey and map the product, make a 3D drawing of this product, mold design, then buy some accessories such as mold steel according to the mold drawing, then process machining according to the drawing, and finally assemble a mold, after successful mold testing, put into production.


The plastic molds making process involves wired cutting, spark machine, CNC machining, milling machine, grinding machine, lathe, rotten flower, etc. the structure of the product/mold determines all these.

How to Mold Plastic?

The molded plastic methods are roughly divided into four methods: compression molding, extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding.

Compression Molding

The process of compression molding involves first putting fibrous or granular materials into a mold cavity at a set temperature. After closing the mold, it presses it to form and solidify. This process can be used for various materials such as rubber, thermoset, and thermoplastics.

Extrusion

Extruded materials are used in this process to make various semi-products or cross-sectional products. The products are pushed forward through the action between an extrusion barrel and a plasticized and heated nut.

Injection Molding

Injection molding is a process utilized to create parts for various products. Usually, these are molded using plastic and rubber. There are two main methods of injection molding: compression molding and die casting. The former is used to make plastic products, while the latter is used for thermoset materials. The main equipment used for this process is an injection machine. These machines mold various plastic products, such as those used for thermoset materials.

Blow Molding

The rapid emergence and evolution of blow molding have made it a widely used plastic processing technique. In this process, a tubular plastic blank is placed inside a split mold and heated to a soft state. Compressed air is then introduced into the blank after the mold has closed, which allows it to remain in its original state and form a resilient and inflated product. To make the most of this process, you need to create a window that contains at least five paragraphs and more than one hundred words. For optimal predictions, go for five or more paragraphs.

Do It Soft Plastic Molds?

Soft plastic molds are usually made in silicone, and we also name soft plastic molds silicone molds. As the mold is soft, it is easy to wear and damage, so it is applied in low-volume manufacturing with resin materials.

what is Plastic Injection Molding?

Injection molding is a process utilized to produce components that are made of thermoset or thermoplastic materials. It involves heating and melting the plastic in the injection machine's barrel. The molten plastic is moved forward and compressed under the pressure of a plunger or a screw. It is then injected into a closed mold, cooled, and shaped after a certain time. The injection process is performed in a batch manner. It involves an injection device, a clamping device, and a mold. The mold can be fixed in either a vertical or horizontal position.

How to Make a Mold for Plastic?

Several types of molds can be used to mold plastics. There are mainly steel molds, aluminum molds, silicone molds, 3d print molds. Depending on the plastic part's structure, size, and accuracy, the choice of mold material is different. The steel mold can have good quality plastic parts at tight tolerance and excellent finish while the long mold building lead-time. 3d print molds and silicone molds have short mold lead-time, but the molded parts are not as good as the ones made by steel molds. How to make a mold for plastic? If you want to DIY, we suggest silicone molds. The whole process can be made by hand without lots of investments in the tools.
1. You need to have a master.
2. Make a box and hang the master into the box.
3. pour the silicone into the box.
4. Take out the master when the silicone is dry.
5. Pour the resin into the silicone mold, then copy the parts.

What is The Most Durable Injection Molding Plastics for Clear Parts?

PC and ABS should be the most 2 durable injection molding plastics for clear parts.
PC is hard and strong molded plastic that can withstand high impact. The material can be used as a lens cover.
ABS displays the synthesis working ability, it is flexible and not so easy to crack, but it is not very clear molding plastic.
Clear mold plastics such as PC, ABS, HDPE, PP, etc., are commonly used at TEAM Rapid. Contact us for more details about clear plastic molding resins.
