Benefits of Injection Molding for Metal Devices

Our injection molding services offer a rapid, cost-effective solution for producing new metal devices. This rapid tooling solution can deliver 1 to 100,000 production-grade parts from a wide range of metals. We customize each mold according to your design, ensuring precise manufacturing and accurate, high-quality results. With this service, you can reduce the costs and lead times for prototype manufacturing and end-use production without production tooling.

At HLH Prototypes, we make custom molds from stainless steel or aluminum. However, we often recommend stainless steel molds for custom metal devices because they offer more value to the project. They also typically deliver twice as many parts as aluminum molds, making them ideal for low-volume production.

You can count on us to tailor our injection molding services to your project’s unique requirements. We combine the best aspects of powder metallurgy and traditional plastic injection molding to make them more cost-effective without restricting design freedom. Moreover, we guarantee durable and strong metal components.

Here are more ways our injection molding solutions can benefit your project:

Achieve complex geometries

Metal injection molding can produce parts with complex shapes and thin walls. Plus, it delivers metal devices with intricate internal structures. These qualities make it possible to create aesthetically pleasing and functional components. At HLH Prototypes, we follow tight tolerances to ensure the part fits and functions as intended.

Consistent quality

Injection molding services are highly repeatable and can use the same raw material, resulting in metal parts that are consistent in quality, size, and features. At HLH Prototypes, we do this in a controlled environment that minimizes the risk of defects and contamination. This helps us ensure high-quality parts.

Cost-effective

Injection molding is more cost-effective because it reduces the need for manual labor. The highly automated process also speeds up low-volume production runs while generating minimal scrap. In turn, this minimizes waste from discarded material. The manufacturing process delivers more precise results that reduce the need for post-processing and secondary operations like assembly and finishing, resulting in cost savings.
