Plastic injection molding is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes for producing high-quality plastic components. From consumer goods to medical devices, this technique ensures efficiency, precision, and durability in plastic part production.
Plastic injection molding involves melting plastic pellets and injecting the molten material into a mold cavity. Once cooled and solidified, the part is ejected, ready for use. This process allows for mass production with consistent quality and minimal waste.
Plastic pellets are heated until they melt and are then injected into a mold.
The mold is tightly clamped to withstand high-pressure injection.
The molten plastic cools and takes the shape of the mold.
The final product is ejected from the mold using ejector pins.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) offers toughness, impact resistance, and easy machinability.
PP is lightweight, durable, and chemical-resistant, commonly used in automotive and packaging.
PC is known for its high impact strength and optical clarity, making it ideal for eyewear lenses and electronic components.
Nylon provides excellent mechanical properties and resistance to wear, commonly used in gears and industrial components.
PE is flexible, moisture-resistant, and widely used in packaging and piping.
POM is known for its strength, stiffness, and low friction, suitable for precision components.
TPE combines elasticity with thermoplastic properties, making it ideal for medical and automotive applications.

Plastic parts in vehicles reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.
Medical devices require biocompatible and sterilizable plastic materials.
Injection molding is used to manufacture everyday plastic products, from kitchen utensils to toys.
Businesses can create tailored plastic components for specialized applications.
The cost of injection molding depends on material choice, mold complexity, and production volume.
Choosing the right plastic depends on factors like durability, flexibility, and environmental resistance.
High-precision molding ensures tight tolerances and high-quality finishes for critical applications.
Prototyping allows manufacturers to test and refine designs before full-scale production.
Mold tooling involves creating precise molds to shape plastic parts with accuracy.
China is a major player in plastic injection molding, offering cost-effective manufacturing solutions.
High-quality injection molded parts rely on rigorous quality control at every stage of production. At Kuasu, we implement advanced inspection techniques to ensure precision and consistency:
CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) Inspection: Verifies critical dimensions with micron-level accuracy.
Optical and Laser Scanning: Detects surface defects and ensures the final part meets visual and functional specifications.
Process Monitoring: Real-time sensors track injection pressure, temperature, and cycle times to prevent defects such as warping, sink marks, or voids.
Gauges & Checking Fixtures: Custom-designed tools confirm part tolerances and ensure repeatability across large production batches.
By combining automated and manual inspections, we maintain consistent quality for both prototype and mass-production components.
OEM and ODM services provide custom and private-label plastic injection molding solutions for businesses.
Plastic injection molding is highly adaptable, allowing manufacturers to provide tailored solutions for both OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) clients. At Kuasu, we offer comprehensive OEM and ODM services that cover the entire product lifecycle:
Custom Design & Development: We work closely with clients to transform concepts into precise 3D designs and prototypes, ensuring feasibility, manufacturability, and optimal material selection.
Prototype and Pre-Production: Before mass production, we produce functional prototypes for testing, validation, and design refinement, reducing time-to-market and minimizing costly revisions.
Full Mold Fabrication: Our vertically integrated facility designs and manufactures high-precision molds for injection molding, die casting, and stamping dies, tailored to client specifications.
High-Volume Production: We provide scalable production solutions with automated and semi-automated lines, ensuring consistent quality and timely delivery for large OEM orders.
Branding and Private Labeling: ODM clients can leverage our expertise to produce custom parts and assemblies with their branding, ready for direct market release.
Quality Assurance: Every component undergoes rigorous inspection using gauges, checking fixtures, CMM measurement, and process monitoring to meet client standards and industry regulations.
Industries like automotive, medical, consumer electronics, and packaging rely on injection molding for durable and cost-effective plastic parts.
The process can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the material and complexity of the part.
Polypropylene (PP) and ABS are among the most commonly used plastics due to their versatility and durability.
Material selection, mold complexity, production volume, and cycle time all impact overall costs.
