Plastic Reaction Injection Molding Car Parts Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing 3mm Wall Thickness

Reaction Injection Molding Low Volume Large Plastic Parts Cheap And Rapid Mold Good Quality Great Service

Customer was an automotive design and engineering company in USA, wanted to test impact and high temperature resistance of this bumper by low volume rapid prototypes. Though customer was new to our RIM technique, found it was a proper and economical solution for this project.

Reaction Injection Molding (RIM, also named Low-Pressure Injection Molding) is an ideal process to low volume manufacturing the large plastic parts quickly and economically. Firstly, the liquid bi-component polyurethanes are injected into a mixer at certain amount ratio and meanwhile mixed well by the mixer, then the mixture is injected into the tooling cavity quickly at room temperature and low pressure to form the parts.

Due to the low injection molding temperatures and pressures, RIM is well-suited for molding large parts with variable wall thickness and smooth surface finishes. We can also benefit from its relatively high turnover rate, which makes it proficient in handling low to middle volume production projects. In addition, RIM parts have high tensile strength, heat resistance, and good resistance to corrosive acids or solvents. However, prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade polymer-based parts.

Advantages of RIM Parts:

Thick and Various wall thickness for one part

Excellent mechanical properties

High flexibility, strength and durability

Good chemical resistance

Great impact resistance

Excellent dimensional stability

The high pressures used cause the plastic to conform to the mold’s shape, thereby generating the part. Like metal die casting, custom plastic injection molding typically produces components that require little or no additional work. Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) is a specialized subset of the injection molding technique that chemically bonds two or more plastics into a polymer before they are introduced into the mold.

RIM Parts Design Considerations:
When designing parts for RIM production, it's important to consider factors such as size, structure, wall thickness, draft angles, and gating. RIM parts can be designed with complex geometries and intricate details, but it's important to ensure that the part design is manufacturable and the tooling favors the design.

Industry Applications:
RIM is commonly used in the low volume manufacturing or prototyping of automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and consumer goods parts. Such as automotive bumpers & grills, body panels, interior components, aerospace ducting, large enclosures, big housings and medical covering shells.
