About Plastic Injection Molding
Plastic injection molding is the preferred technique for manufacturing high quality plastic parts. The process of plastic injection molding makes use of a plastic elastomer or thermoplastics (plastics that hardens with cooling) injected into a metal mold, where it begins to cool and take on the shape of the mold core and cavity. Plastic Injection Molding is used to make most of the engineered plastic components in the automotive industry, including bumpers, body panels, interior instrument panel, door panels, center consoles, and trim panels. |
Our Injection Molding Capabilities
Brannieke provides design, engineering, and plastic injection molding services for automotive applications. Extensive use of CAD/CAM software is employed to design plastic injection mold and simulate the flow of thermoplastic into the mold. This ensures that fewer production issues (shrinkage, warping, mold-in stress, turbulent flow) occur during the manufacturing process. We have experience in design of plastic injection molded parts, mold tooling, and DFM of parts for automotive applications. |

Rapid Prototyping Plastic Injection Mold
We can design and build a prototype aluminum alloy or steel mold for your parts. A rapid prototype mold typically takes less time (2 weeks versus 4-8 weeks) to build and may be less costly and complex compared to a full production mold. The tradeoff is the number of parts that can be produced off a prototype mold compared to a production mold. A prototype mold may be an ideal option for projects requiring quick turnaround or for product testing and initial market exploration. |
Production Plastic Injection Molding
Once your project has reached the manufacturability stage, we can work with your team and build a full production steel mold. A steel mold typically made out of prehardened tool steel such as P-20 or S-136 are ideal for finalized production of parts. Product tooling are also more “durable” than prototype aluminum alloy molds and can be used to product hundreds of thousands of parts before needing to be rebuild, thereby making it an economical and cost-effective option for parts production. |
