Plastic Molded Concepts is a U.S based company that uniquely specializes in molding with engineered resins. We have been thriving in the plastic molding business for 45 years. We have the experience and certified in-house Master Molders, allowing us to take on projects of any complexity. Secondary, post-molding operations are sometimes necessary to complete the assembly.Why Choose PMC? Below is a checklist of plastic mold design basics to cover with your plastic injection molder.Resin Requirements If your plastic injection molder isn’t compliant with these promises & the other 10 promises, it’s time to talk to a legitimate plastic injection molding expert.
What Is Plastic Injection Mold
Based in Boston, the Rethink product suite is available in Asia, Europe and North America. The company is funded by Bezos Expeditions, CRV, Highland Capital Partners, Sigma Partners, DFJ, GE Ventures and Goldman Sachs.

Mold alignment is critical to prevent wear and tear on both the mold and machine, extending their operational life. In some cases, having plastic injected parts that have been (or will be) molded-in stress can be acceptable. However, all 4 of these key factors (cost, turnaround time, stress/pressure application & volume production) need to align. Shrinkage compensation must be accounted for in mold design, as plastics shrink as they cool, potentially leading to dimensional inaccuracies. Different materials have varying shrinkage rates, which must be factored into the mold dimensions.
What Are Injection Molds
Oftentimes parts must pass certain requirements in order to go to market. These may be private, governmental, national or international regulations. Collaboration between design and manufacturing teams is crucial for successful injection molding. Early involvement of manufacturing experts in the design phase can prevent potential production issues and ensure designs are feasible and cost-effective. Therefore, considering surface finishing early in the design phase can help manage costs and ensure the final product meets all necessary specifications. “Automation is a great solution to meet workforce challenges, but to be successful, it’s critical that the robot is easy to deploy and operate on repetitive tasks that aren’t appealing to humans,” said Jim Lawton, COO at Rethink Robotics. “PMC demonstrates that automation can transform jobs in manufacturing rather than replacing them, as robots free up their human counterparts to pursue more meaningful responsibilities.” Gate location is critical for ensuring even filling of the mold cavity, avoiding issues like sink marks, weld lines, or incomplete filling.
