Work with our experienced engineering and design team to bring your product concept to reality. We offer rapid prototyping and short lead times so your product can be in the hands of the consumer quicker. We use engineering grade resin that is injected into molding machines. All of our products go through a rigorous quality control inspection process so your final product is perfect and ready for shipment.
Pioneer Plastics is your one-stop-shop for custom injection molding. We work with you every step of the way from product design & prototyping, tool building, and production/shipping. Our high quality injection molding machines and engineering grade resins produce durable long lasting plastic parts affordably.
Good design and engineering is the key to high quality parts for lower costs. Pioneer Plastics has over 200 years of injection molding company experience in our design team – we know what makes a good part based on what your needs. You will get to work directly with our engineers who have access to state-of-the-art-equipment.
Before the mold is created, we can create a prototype of the part using our 3D-printer. This allows you to experiment with the product and make any necessary adjustments before the mold is built.
When it comes to injection molding, tool and die refers to the molds and machinery built that create the end product. Molds are the empty cavity that is filled with melted plastic resin to form the plastic part.
Melted plastic, also known as resin is injected directly into the molds. Tool building is the process of creating that mold so that in can shape the resin into a plastic part. After the resin cools and hardens it is removed from the mold. High quality tools are critical for producing high quality parts.
Injection molding is typically a good choice if you need a higher volume/quantity of your part because the large upfront investment pays off over time. However, if you only need 1,000 parts, injection molding may not be economical for you. This depends on your budget and how critical the part design is to your project’s success.
Tool building can take anywhere from 2 to 26 weeks depending on the complexity of the part, the number of cavities, parts in the mold, and the size of the mold.
Absolutely! Pioneer Plastics specializes in transfer tooling, making it easy for you to transfer your existing tool to our facilities. Our experienced toolmakers will carefully assess and integrate your tool, ensuring it operates optimally within our production environment. We handle every aspect of the transfer process, from the initial evaluation and necessary modifications to full-scale production and ongoing maintenance.
Yes! Pioneer Plastics has a preventive maintenance schedule for all of our molds.
