10 Different Uses for Plastic Molds

I was always interested in making plastic molds and so I decided to search for some different uses for plastic molds. We will take a look at 10 different ways of using Plastic Molds

1. Plastic molds are used for making shapes, models and prototypes. They can be used to create a wide range of products from food to jewelry and even home decor. They are also used in the manufacturing of chemicals, plastics and rubber products

2. Plastic molds are also used to make plastic prototypes such as for cars and packaging containers. The prototype is made using the mold material which is then casted into a final shape that is ready to be manufactured into real life products such as cars, packaging containers or any other product that needs to be molded into plastic

3. Plastic molds are also used in printing industry where they are used to create prototypes which are then printed onto paper or other materials that will be used by the printer in their production lines or offices where they print out the final product that they need at the end of each day or week depending on how busy they are with their schedules

CNC Plastic Machining

CNC Machining Plastic Parts are widely used in all industries fields and most products around us in the world. And many plastic materials are suitable for machining processes.

Therefore, CNC machining plastic parts are important production way to make out plastic products.

Different plastics have different properties, with their low cost and multi-selecting reason, so CNC machining plastic parts are flexibly choose plastic materials for various functional products.

Different processing use different materials for its functional purpose. Normally we use ABS, PS, PC, Nylon, PEEK, PA, POM, etc. For plastic parts by CNC turning, milling, drilling; And apply finishing treatment on surface such as painting, powder coating, etc.

Benefits of CNC Plastic Machining

1/ Plastic materials have many series with different properties for different choice

2/ Plastic materials is soft, shape-keeping, and easy-cutting for CNC machining processes

3/ CNC machining plastic parts are light-weight for product using

4/ CNC machining plastic parts are non-conductive of electricity, supporting many non-conductive parts

5/ CNC machining plastic parts are flexible to change the shape, benefiting the prototyping time and cost

6/ Plastic parts material supporting recycle collecting, material renewal benefits the burden of world
