Our Plastic Injection Molding Processes

Custom Plastic Parts
Custom injection-molded components produced according to customer drawings, material requirements, tolerances, and application needs.

Insert Molding
Metal inserts, threaded components, or electrical contacts are placed into the mold and permanently bonded with plastic during molding.

Overmolding
A secondary material is molded over an existing plastic or metal component to improve grip, sealing, impact resistance, or appearance.

Multi-Cavity Molding
Multiple identical parts are produced in one molding cycle, improving production efficiency and reducing unit costs for volume orders.

Surface Finishing Options
We offer a variety of surface finishing options to enhance the appearance, durability, and performance of your CNC machined parts.
-
Sanding
Removes layer lines, support marks, and minor surface imperfections to create a smoother and more uniform finish.
-
Polishing
Refines the printed surface to improve smoothness, gloss, and visual quality, particularly for display models and cosmetic parts.
-
Painting
Adds customized colors and protective coatings to enhance appearance, branding, and environmental resistance.
-
Spray Coating
Applies a consistent protective or decorative layer to improve surface texture, wear resistance, and overall part appearance.
-
Dyeing
Colors nylon and other compatible printed materials while maintaining dimensional details and surface texture.
-
Vapor Smoothing
Uses a controlled chemical-vapor process to reduce visible layer lines and create a smoother, more sealed surface on compatible thermoplastics.

Plastic Injection Molding Tolerance Guide
Dimensional control is essential in plastic injection molding because it directly affects part fit, assembly performance, appearance, and functional reliability. At Karry Precision, molding tolerances are evaluated according to resin type, part size, wall thickness, shrinkage rate, mold structure, and production requirements.
A practical tolerance strategy helps reduce tooling complexity, molding defects, inspection costs, and part rejection rates.:
- Apply tight tolerances only to critical mating features
- Maintain consistent wall thickness where possible
- Allow suitable draft angles for smooth part ejection
- Avoid abrupt thickness changes that may cause warpage
- Consider material shrinkage and moisture absorption
- Use ribs and supports instead of excessively thick walls
| Tolerance Type | Typical Tolerance | Suitable Materials | Cost Impact | Molding Considerations |
| General Linear Dimensions | ±0.20–0.30 mm | ABS, PP, PE, PC | Low | Suitable for non-critical dimensions and standard molded parts |
| Precision Linear Dimensions | ±0.10–0.20 mm | ABS, PC, POM, PA | Medium | Requires stable tooling, controlled processing, and dimensional inspection |
| Critical Mating Features | ±0.05–0.10 mm | POM, PC, PBT, reinforced plastics | High | Depends on part size, mold accuracy, shrinkage, and environmental conditions |
| Hole Diameter | ±0.10–0.20 mm | Most thermoplastics | Medium | Core-pin design, material shrinkage, and feature depth affect accuracy |
| Hole Position | ±0.15–0.30 mm | Most thermoplastics | Medium | Influenced by mold alignment, part warpage, and datum selection |
| Flatness | 0.20–0.50 mm | ABS, PC, PP, PA | Medium | Large or thin parts may require looser tolerances due to warpage |
| Insert Position | ±0.10–0.20 mm | Insert-molded components | Medium to High | Insert fixtures and molding pressure must be carefully controlled |
These values are general references. Final achievable tolerances depend on material shrinkage, part dimensions, geometry, wall thickness, mold design, process stability, and inspection requirements.
