Many unique factors determine the overall cost of producing your custom injection molded parts. First, there’s the product design, development, and iterative prototyping process, if required. Once your design is finalized, the next step is the tooling cost to build your product mold. Even once manufacturing is underway, several factors will still dramatically affect your ongoing production costs: material type, material usage, and machine cycle time, to name a few. Please read our latest blog post to learn more about how AIM Processing strives to minimize your costs at every step in the production process. #InjectionMolding #MadeInColorado #AIMProcessing

Today’s complex injection molded parts often require more complicated designs with more contours, and therefore more walls throughout. As a result, it has become increasingly critical to ensure uniformity so that the end products offer the expected strength and performance they are designed for. That’s where mold flow analysis comes in. Mold flow analysis is a crucial step in many modern injection molding projects. Essentially, simulation software predicts and optimizes the flow of molten plastic into the mold cavity.

Embarking on a new custom injection molding project can be intimidating, especially for customers who are new to the industry. If you’ve never seen the process through from start to finish, it can seem extremely complex and even overwhelming with all of the details you’re expected to bring to the table. That’s why AIM Processing put together this basic guide to plastic injection molding. In our latest blog, we lay out the crucial information you need to consider about your products along with the major steps to come once your project is underway. #InjectionMolding #Manufacturing #AIMProcessing

Today’s advanced injection molding techniques take an intelligent, disciplined manufacturing process approach that ensures higher precision and efficiency. Making the right choice between hot runner manifold systems and conventional cold runners is just one of the many considerations we make. Nevertheless, it’s one of the most critical decisions we make to optimize our injection molding methods for your unique products and volume requirements. At AIM Processing, we strive to remove any guesswork or uncertainty from our plastic molding services. By employing disciplined injection molding solutions, we help create better end products through a more sustainable production process. On that note, our latest blog examines the crucial differences between hot runners and cold runners. #InjectionMolding #PlasticMolding

Maintaining precision and repeatability is crucial to any custom injection molding project, especially when it comes to small parts with potentially complex designs. With small-part injection molding, even the tiniest variances in tolerances can ruin a whole run of products. Essentially, the smaller the molded part and the closer the tolerances, the more careful we have to be to ensure accuracy and precision. #InjectionMolding #SmallPartInjectionMolding #MadeInColorado

Plastic overmolding is a complex manufacturing process that involves multiple steps of injecting two different materials into a single molded part. As you can imagine, adding additional steps and materials into the injection molding process comes with some unique complications and challenges. Addressing these challenges requires an injection molding company with ample experience in providing overmolding services for many different types of products. Enter AIM Processing, backed by more than 30 years in producing quality molded plastics for some of the most challenging industries and markets. #PlasticOvermolding #InjectionMolding #Manufacturing #MadeInColorado

The overmolding process is indispensable for a myriad of today’s plastic products. Essentially, overmolding services allow us to combine multiple materials into a single complex design. And despite the inherent carbon footprint created by custom plastics manufacturing, overmolding can actually be the more efficient process compared to the alternative of producing and assembling multiple separate components. Nevertheless, manufacturers throughout the industry are always looking for ways to make custom plastic molding services cleaner, greener, and more sustainable. AIM Processing is no exception.

Conventional injection molding and overmolding are both crucial processes in the realm of modern plastics manufacturing. At AIM Processing, we specialize in both to offer our customers the widest range of options for their products. The production processes are similar, but overmolding isn’t as simple as injecting one plastic material over top of another. In our latest blog, we take a closer look at what sets the conventional injection molding process apart from overmolding. #InjectionMolding #Overmolding #PlasticsManufacturing

Part of the AIM Processing process is design for manufacturability (DFM) – taking your initial product designs and ensuring that no part features will pose an issue once the plastic meets the mold. Read our most recent blog post to learn how we minimize manufacturing errors by carefully considering all design features and tolerances alongside critical injection molding considerations like draft angle and material selection while ensuring a more efficient production process. #DFM #DesignForManufacturing #InjectionMolding

The Denver, Colorado region has been a hub for manufacturing since the city's early days, particularly for plastic injection molding since the industry took off in the 1960s. Read our latest blog to learn more about how AIM Processing added to the long history of quality and innovation that the “Made in Colorado” stamp has stood for since coming along in 1993. #MadeInColorado #PlasticInjectionMolding #ColoradoManufacturers
