Plastic Injection Molding Tolerances
Plastic resins expand and contract due to temperature, mechanical stress, and humidity. Our Manufacturing Tolerance Guide provides you with general information about the shrinkage characteristics of the most common resin types to help you make design decisions. As part of the design analysis, we identify areas in the molded part that may cause thermal stress, shrinkage, warpage, or other avoidable defects. For more information, see our Design for Manufacturing Guide for common defects and how to avoid them. Unless otherwise stated, we adhere to DIN 16742 standard tolerances for injection molded parts. Ensuring the highest quality is an important part of our production process. Be sure to read our guide to visual quality standards for injection molded parts.

What is Injection Molding?
Plastic injection molding is a major molding process. With the help of an injection molding machine, granular plastic raw materials are melted and liquefied. The process takes place in a closed cylinder, in which a screw conveyor ensures plasticization of the plastic by friction and external heat. After the plastic is melted, it is injected into a mold (also called an injection mold) under high pressure. The shape and surface structure of the finished injection molded part are determined by the cavity in the injection mold (called the cavity). The plastic material injected into the tool cools in the cavity and returns to a solid state. The injection mold can then be opened and the finished injection molded part can be removed. Since the same mold is used for each part of the injection molding process, the quality of each part is consistent. Compared with CNC machining or even 3D printing, injection molding also has the most diverse materials, colors, surface treatments, finishes and surface textures.
Engineering & 3D Printed Prototypes
At Elimold, we are often asked to assist clients with plastic part design development and new product prototyping. If you are focused on “fast time to market”, our in-house 3D printing service could be a solution for you, or you could consider developing rapid prototyping soft molds in our in-house tool room. As a full-service plastic injection molding company, we offer a range of product design and engineering services to help you develop the form, fit and function of your parts for successful plastic injection molding.

Benefits of Custom Plastic Injection Molding Services
There are numerous reasons to consider choosing injection molding for your project. Some of the most notable advantages include the following:
- Customizability. Your tooling/mold will be custom-built for injection molding. Additionally, parts created this way can be easily colored using additives, creating aesthetically pleasing products.
- Cost-effectiveness. The automation utilized in the injection molding process significantly reduces overhead costs, allowing a sole operator to oversee the molding process.
- Accuracy. With a properly designed mold, the injection molding process can ensure tight tolerance accuracy molding to meet customer demand to print specifications.
- Efficient use of materials. The injection molding process reduces unnecessary plastic waste, as the material is injected directly into the mold during production.
- Easy reclamation and recycling. Any unused material can easily be melted down for reuse.
- Enhanced strength. Plastics have an incredibly high resistance to wear and can be injected with fillers during the molding process to create additional strength.
