Plastic Injection Molding for Automotive Vehicles

Immediate benefits of using plastic molded components in automotive manufacturing include:

Lighter Components: Plastic molded components are lightweight, which helps lower fuel consumption and improve efficiency.
Versatile & Proven Technology: Plastic injection molding is a highly versatile manufacturing process that can produce both low- and high-volume plastic parts in multiple configurations, dimensions, and geometries.
Low-Cost & Repeatable: Plastic injection molding is a relatively inexpensive solution with high repeatability compared to other manufacturing processes. As volumes increase, the cost is further reduced.
High-Strength & Durable: Plastic molded parts have excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance.
Sustainable & Accurate: The plastic injection molding process produces very little waste, which helps control costs. The process is also highly accurate since all parts are derived from a high-precision mold.

Semi-Solid Die Casting For Automotive Vehicles

Automotive parts manufacturers can also reduce the weight of vehicle components by using semi-solid metal (SSM) die-casted parts.

Our semi-solid die casting process involves mixing half solid metal and half molten metal at lower casting temperatures, which reduces shrinkage. Our SSM process also produces components with tight tolerances, exceptional surface finishes, unique geometries and profiles, and extremely fine microstructures.

We can produce all types of thin-walled SSM parts and prototypes from non-ferrous alloys like magnesium, aluminum, and copper.
