The main differences between metal and plastic molding
1. Sex and the firmness of materials
Metal molding is generally done with hard and durable tools to withstand high pressure and heat, while suitable plastic molds require less resistance but more elegance.
2. The complexity and accuracy of the design
in the differences and benefits of metal and plastic molding, precision and design details are also different. Plastic molds are often allowed to form more complex at a lower cost, but in metal molds, mechanical accuracy and load bearing are more important.
3. Cost of construction
Due to the material used and the time of machinery, metal molding usually costs more than plastic molding. This can produce different efficiency in high circulation projects.
4. Mold lifetime
Metal molds have a longer life span due to their high resistance to wear and pressure. Although faster plastic molds are made, they need more replacement or repair.
5. The process of production
plays a key role in metal molding, precision CNC, lathe, milling and spark, but it is more important in plastic molding, designing cooling systems and injection paths.
Benefits of metal molding
High strength
Products produced with metal molds usually have more pressure, impact and heat tolerance.
Longevity
With proper maintenance, metal molds can do millions of production cycles without a drop in quality.
Suitable for mass production
In the high circulation, the initial cost of its high durable metal molding is offset.
Compatibility with complex metal parts
are the best option for producing precise and heavy mechanical parts.
Benefits of plastic molding
Less cost
Plastic molding is usually cheaper and faster than metal molding.
Design flexibility
is the possibility of producing complex shapes using plastic injection technology.
The lightness of the final product
Plastic parts are lighter and are ideal for applications that require easy transportation.
The colorability and variety of the surface
produced components can be directly colored or specific texture.
Selection between metal and plastic molding
Budget and circulation of production
If your project requires mass production and longevity, metal molding is a good choice. But for the production of low -cost or varied products, plastic molding will be more affordable.
Product application
Products that work in harsh environmental conditions require metal resistance, but everyday consumer goods are usually made of plastic.
Delivery time
Plastic molding usually takes a shorter time from design to production.
