Injection moulding

Injection moulding is one of the most commonly-used moulding techniques for plastic parts. It is an impressive and creative process in which an injection moulding machine and injection mould transform thermoplastics into any desired shape. Injection moulding is often used to produce product components. These, along with all the other parts required, are then assembled to create a final product.

Injection moulding company Wicro Plastics

We, Wicro Plastics, are a renowned European injection moulding company. We serve our partners in the Netherlands and beyond from our base in Kessel, in Limburg. As an injection moulding company, we’re always actively involved in the creation of the final product, which means that we don’t limit ourselves to plastic injection moulding. We develop the moulds, have our own assembly line, and take care of the distribution too. As a one-stop shop, we give advice on efficiency and how to save on injection molding costs.

What is injection moulding?

44 fully automated injection moulding machines

With 44 fully automated injection moulding machines with a clamping force of 50 – 1150 tonnes, a closed conveyor system and our own tool shop, we’re able to process (almost) all thermoplastics in our injection moulding plant. Technical semi-finished products with tight tolerances, complex design and good dimensional stability, and also visually appealing products requiring high standards in terms of colour, gloss and surface texture. Injection mould and tool repairs and maintenance? We carry them out ourselves, which makes us just that little bit faster. We’re much more than just an injection moulding company.

Injection molding roadmap

Project management

PHASE 1: QUOTATION

We maintain close contact during this initial step. It’s important to take a good inventory in order to determine which product components are required. We review the plastics needed and select suppliers for other components.

Quotation

01.

PHASE 2: ASSIGNMENT

You’re happy with the quote and have signed off on it. Our project manager then receives the assignment and everyone’s at the starting blocks ready to begin work on designing your project. The required samples have already been ordered and together we draw up an action list.

Assignment

02.

PHASE 3: PLANNING

We then create a plan based on the action list. This is a detailed project plan that our project manager tackles with a structured approach. In this phase, all elements and aspects of the project flow together into a cohesive whole.

Planning

03.

PHASE 4: PROTOTYPE

Now the fun really starts, because in the prototype phase we work on development. All the components – which we’ve worked on intensively together in previous phases – come together. From mould to master batches and other purchased parts.

Prototype

04.

FASE 5: PILOT

In the pilot phase the product really takes shape – both literally and figuratively. Testing, optimising and refining… everything comes together, and is assembled into a complete, fully-fledged product. Happy times!

Pilot

05.

PHASE 6: LAUNCH

Are you satisfied, or even delighted? Then we press the big green button and launch the product together. Mass production can begin, and your product is ready to go on the market. Congratulations!

INJECTION MOULDING: THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR PRODUCT OR COMPONENT?

Injection moulding is a well-known and well-developed method of casting plastics to achieve the desired result. Sustainability and innovation are important themes in the industry. With many different types of plastic, each with its own characteristics, there’s always a solution for your product. Incredible shapes can be created, and strong raw materials ensure that safety requirements are met. Injection moulding has a lot of other advantages too:

From complex to simple

With an injection moulding machine, complex product designs can be produced easily and on a large scale.

Large volumes in a short period of time

Products and/or product components can be produced quickly and efficiently in a very short period of time.

Maximum precision and virtually no post-processing

Injection moulding is known for its extremely precise results despite mass production.

Light, strong and sustainable

A good combination of three elements that are important in a (final) product. In addition, plastic is easy to clean and doesn’t rust or rot.

Together we look at the possibilities for your product. We inspire you with our references and show you around our injection molding plant in Kessel. Will I see you soon? See you soon!
