Among Our Clients

Injection Moulding Capacities

In the dynamic world of furniture manufacturing, injection molding stands as a beacon of innovation and precision. At ScanCastor, we’ve harnessed this technique to its fullest potential, specifically tailoring our approach for the unique demands of the furniture industry. We have also developed a state of the art recycling plant that can produce furniture components in recycled material.

Scancastor Injection Moulding Capabilities

Capabilities

Injection Moulding, Insert Moulding, Overmoulding

Lead Time

Starts at 14 business days

Tooling

Rapid Tooling: recommended for 100-10,000 parts / Production Tooling: recommended for over 10,000 parts

Materials

Plastics and resins

Machines Available

Single, multi-cavity, and family moulds; 50 to 1,500+ press tonnage; side actions including hand-loaded cores

Mould Cavity Tolerances

± 0.1 mm when machining the mold and an additional ± 0.05 mm when calculating for shrink rate

Part to Part Repeatability

±0.1 mm or less

Critical Feature Tolerances

Tighter tolerances can be requested and may increase the cost of tooling because of additional sampling and grooming.

Available Mould Types

Steel (tool steel, carbon steel) and aluminum; Production grades range from Class 105, a prototype mold, to Class 101, an extremely high production mould.

Injection Moulding: How It Works

1. Request Manufacturing

After a consultation we discuss terms and start the process.

2. Quote & DFM

We perform design-for-manufacturability analysis and prepare your quote

3. Tool Manufacturing

After mold design approval, we start manufacturing the tool.

4. Samples

We produce samples, perform QA, and send the samples to you.

5. Production Completion

After approval of the samples, the large batch production is kicked-off.

6. Delivery

Your parts are delivered to you.
