PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING SERVICES
From Tooling to Repeatable Production
SelikoForm provides engineering-driven plastic injection molding solutions for consistent, functional, and repeatable plastic part production.
From design review and material selection to tooling, initial sampling, and planned production, each project is evaluated according to its technical requirements, expected quantity, application, and production objectives.
Why Injection Molding?
Plastic injection molding is suitable for projects that require consistent dimensions, repeatable quality, efficient production cycles, and scalable part manufacturing.
Once the mold and initial samples have been approved, the same component can be produced repeatedly with controlled geometry, surface quality, and material properties.
What We Support
New Product Development
Support for plastic components progressing from initial design and prototype validation to tooling and repeatable production.
Low- and Medium-Volume Production
Flexible tooling and production planning according to expected quantities, part geometry, material, and commercial requirements.
Design for Injection Molding
Draft Angles
Suitable draft angles help the molded component release from the tool without damaging the part or surface.
Undercuts
Undercuts are reviewed to determine whether sliders, inserts, lifters, or design changes may be required.
Gate Locations
Gate positions are considered according to material flow, visible surfaces, weld lines, and part performance.
Assembly Features
Clips, connectors, holes, threads, and mating surfaces are reviewed according to assembly and tolerance requirements.
Material Selection
The plastic material is selected according to the mechanical, thermal, chemical, cosmetic, dimensional, and environmental requirements of the application.
General-Purpose Materials: ABS, PP, PE, PC-ABS
Engineering Materials: PA / Nylon, POM, PC, Glass-fiber-reinforced polymers
Flexible Materials: TPE, TPU
The final material recommendation depends on strength, flexibility, temperature exposure, chemical contact, dimensional stability, surface expectations, intended use, and project cost.
Dimensional Expectations
Injection molding can provide repeatable dimensional results when the part design, tooling, material, and process conditions are developed together.
Final tolerances depend on:
Part size and geometry
Material shrinkage
Wall thickness
Tooling quality
Gate location
Cooling conditions
Surface requirements
Assembly conditions
Dimensions requiring specific fits, functional tolerances, or inspection should be clearly marked on the technical drawing before tooling begins.
Existing Part Production
Production planning for components based on an existing CAD model, technical drawing, approved sample, or defined product requirements.
Repeat Production
Planned production of approved components with consistent material, dimensions, appearance, and functional expectations.
Before tooling begins, the part geometry is reviewed to identify potential manufacturing risks, improvement opportunities, and tooling requirements.
The review may include:
Wall Thickness
Consistent wall thickness helps reduce shrinkage differences, sink marks, deformation, and uneven cooling.
Ribs and Bosses
Structural features are evaluated according to strength, wall thickness, assembly, and molding requirements.
Parting Lines
Potential parting-line locations are evaluated according to geometry, appearance, tooling, and functionality.
Ejection Areas
Ejection points are planned to reduce visible marks, deformation, and damage during removal from the mold.
Surface Requirements
Texture, gloss, color, visible surfaces, and cosmetic expectations should be defined before tooling begins.
Suitable Applications
Plastic injection molding may be used for:
Industrial components
Machine and equipment parts
Electrical and electronic enclosures
Consumer product housings
Automotive-related components
Covers and protective components
Brackets, clips, and connectors
Replacement parts
Assembly components
Repeat production requirements.
Tooling and Mold Development
The tooling concept is defined according to the component geometry, material, production quantity, surface expectations, dimensional requirements, and project budget.
Depending on the project, tooling considerations may include:
Cavity quantity
Mold layout
Gate and runner design
Cooling strategy
Ejection system
Sliders and lifters
Replaceable inserts
Surface texture
Tool maintenance requirements
The final tooling approach is determined after reviewing the complete part and production requirements.
Sampling and Quality Control
Initial samples are reviewed before repeat production begins.
The evaluation may include:
Critical dimensions
Fit and assembly
Surface quality
Functional performance
Visible molding defects
Material behavior
Color and appearance
Production repeatability
Critical dimensions and acceptance criteria should be identified on the technical drawing or agreed before tooling begins.
Our Injection Molding Process
Project Review
We review the CAD file, technical drawing, expected quantity, material requirements, application, surface expectations, and critical dimensions.
Design and Tooling Evaluation
The component is evaluated for manufacturability, material behavior, tooling requirements, estimated production conditions, cost, and potential risks.
Tooling Development
The mold is developed according to the approved part design, material, expected production quantity, tooling strategy, and project requirements.
Initial Sampling
Initial samples are produced and evaluated before planned production begins.
Sample Approval
Dimensions, fit, assembly, appearance, material behavior, and functional requirements are reviewed according to the agreed project criteria.
Planned Production
Following approval, the component moves into planned production, inspection, and delivery.
