Injection Molding in Singapore
High-precision plastic parts for prototyping and production—tooling strategy, DFM support, material guidance, and scalable manufacturing with consistent quality.
Why Injection Molding with Additive3D Asia
Injection molding is the go-to method for repeatable, production-grade plastic parts—especially when your program needs consistent dimensions, stable material performance, and a lower unit cost at scale.
Precision & Repeatability
Consistent part quality across pilot runs and mass production with defined inspection controls.
Tooling Strategy & DFM
Engineering review to reduce warpage, sink marks, gating issues, and tooling rework risk.
Scalable Production
From validation batches to high-volume output with support for finishing and secondary operations.
Capabilities
Tooling & Mold Making
- Rapid tooling (aluminum) for pilot builds and validation
- Production tooling (steel) for longevity and high-volume programs
- Single- or multi-cavity tooling options (project dependent)
Tip: Share target volume and lifecycle to select the right tooling approach.
Production & Secondary Operations
- Production molding for repeatable, consistent plastic parts
- Material guidance for mechanical/thermal requirements
- Optional finishing, marking, light assembly, and packaging (project dependent)
Need hybrid? Prototype with 3D printing, then scale with molding.
What is Injection Molding?
Injection molding is a process where molten plastic is injected into a precision mold, cooled, and ejected as a finished part. It is ideal for complex geometries, consistent surface finish, and repeatability at scale.
Common outcomes: consistent dimensions, stable material properties, and scalable unit economics.
When It’s the Right Choice
Our Injection Molding Process
CAD Review & Quote
Send CAD (STEP preferred), quantity, material preference, tolerance callouts, and surface requirements.
DFM & Tooling Strategy
We review draft, wall thickness, ribs/bosses, gating, ejection, shrink and cosmetic considerations.
Mold Fabrication
Tool is manufactured to the approved specification (rapid tooling or production tooling).
First Articles / Sampling
Trial shots and inspection validate dimensions, finish, fit, and function before ramp.
Production & Quality Control
Controlled production runs with inspection plans to ensure consistent output.
Finishing & Delivery
Optional finishing/assembly support and delivery coordination (project dependent).
Materials & Options
- Common plastics: ABS, PP, PC, PC/ABS blends (application dependent)
- Engineering plastics: PA (Nylon), glass-filled grades, higher-performance polymers
- Tooling: aluminum for speed; steel for longevity
- Secondary ops: finishing, marking, light assembly and packaging (project dependent)
Typical Applications
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need for an injection molding quote?
CAD (STEP preferred), quantity, material preference, color, surface finish requirements, tolerance callouts, and intended application.
What’s the typical lead time?
Lead time varies by part complexity and tooling approach. Rapid tooling can support faster validation runs; production tooling typically takes longer due to durability and validation requirements.
Can you help optimize my design for molding?
Yes. We provide DFM guidance to improve moldability, reduce defects, and optimize tooling and per-part cost.
Do you support finishing or assembly?
Yes—project dependent. Share your requirements and we’ll recommend the best approach.
