If you are considering creating a plastic product, then you’ve asked yourself: What are the differences between injection molding and rotational molding? How do they compare in costs, production consistency, materials and design flexibility? We have discussed the advantages of the plastic injection molding process previously in our blog Five Advantages of Plastic Injection Molding. Before we examine the advantages of injection molding over rotational molding, we’ll need to examine the process of rotational molding.

Once a part is molded, most plastic parts require additional processing for completion. Many plastics finishing processes are performed for appearances purposes or aesthetics, such as surface finishing. Surface finish can be used to give an injected molded part a certain look, feel, or texture. The surface finish can be a critical factor in either the appearance or performance of your product as it serves both a cosmetic and functional purpose. 
If you’re considering creating a plastic product, then you’ve definitely asked yourself: is plastic injection molding the right process for creating my part? How does it compare in costs per unit, lead times, design flexibility, product consistency, and up-front costs compared to 
Offshore tooling is desired by many plastic injection molders who consider the premier factors like quality, access to resources, time, and cost. We offer our clients the opportunity to enjoy the price advantage associated with offshore tooling, while providing state-side day-to-day project management, from design to product sampling. Below are the major benefits and drawbacks of low-cost 
When a company decides it’s time to move to a plastic injection molder, it’s no small task. Companies that need to undergo tool relocation or mold transfers are often wary of this process for a few reasons. Some companies try to avoid the whole situation completely and even opt to incur the greater expense of building a new tool at the same facility instead of transporting it to a new one. With the right process and safeguards in place, a tool transfer is a perfectly viable option. 
Establishing a uniform wall is one of the most important decisions an engineer makes when designing a plastic part. The nominal wall influences the overall dimensions of the part, the part performance, and the manufacturing requirements. Proper wall thickness is just one of the key design elements that must be held to a high standard for the injection molding process to work properly. This article discusses the importance of maintaining uniform wall thickness as well as the drawbacks of not being able to maintain this design feature.
