Why KIXENER is your best option for plastic injection molding

With years of experience creating molded plastic parts for our customers, KIXENER provides many advantages over other companies. We offer a truly end-to-end plastic injection molding service, from design to production, always guaranteeing the highest quality.

01

Mold Making

We can take care of both mold making and injection molding. That means we can oversee part manufacturing from end to end and easily scale up production if required.

02

Unlock the Quantity

Most plastic injection molding companies focus on mass production. But we are more flexible, offering low-quantity prototyping, mass production of 1m+ parts, and everything in between.

03

Reliable Quality

Our experienced engineers can kickstart your project with expert DFM analysis and mold making, before helping you decide on the best injection molding parameters for your parts.

04

Unlimited Capacity

In addition to our in-house facilities, we are partnered with an extensive plastic injection molding manufacturer network. Fleets of injection machines are ready for your order today.

KIXENER is the most reliable plastic molding company we have used. After seven orders, they haven’t let us down in terms of quality or delivery. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other companies looking for rapid-molded parts.

I had a project with a couple of complex plastic molding parts. KIXENER took care of it without any fuss: DFM confirmation, T1 samples confirmation, then the final parts arrived quickly. Overall, working with them was really easy.

Thanks for shipping out our molding parts so quickly! Quality was high, as expected, and the laser engraving and pad printing finishes were especially good. We plan to use KIXENER again for plastic moldings.

Additional Plastic Injection Molding Options

Overmolding

Overmolding is a form of custom plastic injection molding during which the plastic injection molding company creates a part from multiple materials. The process adds an injection molded layer of material over an existing injection molded workpiece, producing chemically bonded parts made from multiple materials.

The overmolding process can be used to build layered parts from scratch or to add a resistant outer layer to existing plastic parts and tools, providing a more rugged exterior. Toothbrushes consisting of a solid plastic body and rubberized grip are a common example of an overmolded product.

Overmolding

Insert Molding

Insert molding is similar to overmolding, but the substrate is not necessarily plastic and does not have to be produced via injection molding. For example, insert molding can be used to add a plastic coating to a pre-fabricated metal part like a blade or threaded insert.

Common parts made by insert molding include sharp handheld tools, such as scalpels, which consist of a metal blade partially housed within a plastic handle. Insert molding is also frequently used to create products that incorporate bushings, clips, and fasteners.

Prototype Molding & Mass Production Molding

Delivered fast with 4 simple steps

Upload CAD file

Simply upload your 3D models when you request a quote, along with any technical drawings, preferred materials, and finishing requirements. We’ll take it from there.

Confirm Your Order

We’ll assess your request, perform DFM analysis, and provide an estimate. If you’re happy with the terms, we can get started on the plastic injection molding project right away.

Production

Our team of experienced engineers will get your custom plastic injection molding done fast, whether it’s a one-off prototype or a larger order.

Delivery

We’ll ship your injection molded plastic parts anywhere in the world. You’ll get your shipment quickly, even if it’s a large order of many units.

Injection Molding Plastic

Our plastic injection molding service supports the manufacture of parts in a range of molding materials. These include rigid plastics like ABS, flexible plastics like TPE, and mixed materials like PC-ABS. We can also obtain specialty materials and create custom material and pigment blends to suit your order.

Rigid plastics

Rigid plastics

The majority of injection molded parts are made from rigid thermoplastics. These include inexpensive and versatile plastics like ABS and PP, as well as naturally transparent plastics like PC and acrylic and high-strength plastics like POM. Other rigid plastics for injection molding include nylon, PET, and PS.

Plastic Injection Molding Finishes

Matte finish

Matte

Plastic injection molding companies like KIXENER can give a consistent matte finish to plastic injection molded parts — soft grip handles, for example — by carrying out techniques like sandblasting, chemical etching and EDM on the metal mold. The surface roughness of matte moldings typically ranges between 0.40 and 18.00 Ra µm.

Gloss finish

Gloss

It is possible to make high-shine molded parts with a gloss finish — electronics housings, for example — using post-processing techniques like sanding, polishing, and diamond buffing. The lowest level of surface roughness for acrylic molded parts is around 0.012 Ra µm.

Texture finish

Texture

In addition to simple matte and gloss finishes, it is possible to add more complex textures to moldings, such as wood grain effect, mottling, curved or straight lines, or diamonds. KIXENER can add textures and finishes adhering to Mold-Tech (MT), VDI, and SPI standards.

Direct coloring

Direct coloring

One of the biggest advantages of plastic injection molding is the ease with which parts can be colored. The most effective way to make color molded parts is to directly mix pigments with the material pellets before injection molding begins.

Secondary operations

Secondary operations

Surface texture and coloration are typically controlled by actions taken prior to the injection molding process, but we can also perform a range of secondary operations on the moldings once they have been manufactured.

  • Painting
  • Laser engraving
  • Silk-screening
  • Pad printing
  • Heat staking
  • Ultrasonic welding

Our Quality Promise

Whether you’re a multinational corporation or a small company making its first prototype, we’ll take expert care of your injection molded parts. But don’t just take our word for it: our plastic injection molding service includes material certifications, first article inspection, and full dimensional reports to make sure your plastic moldings turn out just right.

Learn More About Plastic Injection Molding

Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process mainly used to make plastic parts in large quantities. Used by many industries for a wide variety of parts, plastic injection molding produces more thermoplastic parts per year than any other plastic manufacturing process.

The plastic injection process requires a metal mold and an injection molding machine. Plastic pellets are heated to melting point, then forced into the mold, where the material cools and solidifies, assuming the shape of the mold cavity.

The most common materials for plastic injection molding are thermoplastics such as ABS, nylon, and acrylic. However, it is also possible to mold thermosets and elastomers.

FAQ

Injection molding plastics can be rigid, flexible, or combinations of multiple materials. This unmatched versatility is what makes custom plastic injection molding so popular and suitable for some of the most demanding industries in the world.

The plastic injection molding company melts down plastic pellets then injects the liquid into a mold, where the material cools and assumes the form of the mold cavity. The process allows for high precision, tight tolerances, and excellent repeatability.

Injection molding is one of the most affordable ways to manufacture large quantities of parts, especially for bigger production runs. Even though designing and creating the mold can take time, after that, the process becomes very affordable and efficient.
