The CETL can provide plastic injection molded parts in quantities ranging from one to proof of concept production quantities of several hundred. We have fully integrated capabilities for tool design, machining and part molding. If you are interested in learning more about these capabilities, or have a need for these services, click here.

 

The CETL's prototype injection molding machine was designed by a senior year Mechanical Engineering Design Team. The machine is a single shot, plunger type machine with a short cycle time that allows easy production of limited quantities of parts. The concept was refined using COSMOSWorks and the machine was built at the CETL.
The finished PIM machine is capable of processing a 4 oz shot at temperatures in excess of 700°F. The machine has a clamping force of 50 tons and an injection pressure of 11,000 psi. This combination allows the CETL to process high performance engineering grade plastics.
