Performance-Plastics - Net Shape Molding
Are you molding mission critical parts where dimensional attributes need to be extremely precise? Our Net Shape Molding process incorporates the latest software tools with an internally developed iterative tool design approach along with 3D CT scan measurements, resulting in best in class part tolerances.
Performance Plastics leverages the complimentary knowledge, unique skill sets, intense passion and unwavering determination of its people to solve your toughest problems. We thrive on injection molding tight tolerance, complex geometry, thin-walled components for our customers. Although we constantly push the limits of current high performance plastic materials and manufacturing methods, we take a pragmatic approach that maximizes value. Our Net Shape Molding capabilities include:
- Material Shrinkage Analysis
- Inverse compensation in mold steel
- Brings dimensional accuracy back into tolerance
- Eliminates secondary finishing operations
Because of our processing knowledge, our proprietary method and mold materials allow the high performance plastics to be injected at extremely high pressures without melt-fracture or loss of mechanical properties. The molds we design use proprietary metals resistant to the hydrofluoric acid by-products of the molding process. They don’t severely corrode or misshape under the high pressures like traditional steels. These new mold steels, process refinements and the use of additives in the fluoropolymers are methods that we use to continue to improve finished material characteristics for a wider variety of applications.
