Plastic injection molding is one of the leading manufacturing processes for precise, economical, and repeatable series production. At 1zu1scale, we combine state-of-the-art machinery with sophisticated plastic injection molding processes to efficiently manufacture parts of any size, complexity, and quantity.
Whether it's single pieces, pre-series or large series, we focus on quality, precision and process reliability – from tool manufacturing to the finished plastic part.
Advancement and Precision through Tooling Expertise
Our tooling expertise ensures maximum precision, flexibility, and efficiency: aluminum and steel tools are manufactured to fit perfectly for every series size—aluminum for fast implementation and small to medium series, steel for durable large series and complex geometries. The mold inserts are produced using high-speed cutting (HSC) on 5-axis milling machines, with minimum milling radii of 0.15 mm for filigree structures and exact dimensional accuracy. Optimized tools thus ensure precise, reproducible plastic parts over a large number of injection molding cycles.
Applications of injection-molded Plasticparts
Injection-molded plastic parts are used for housings, covers, functional and connecting elements – from industrial and consumer products to electronic components.
Yes, we also manufacture injection molded plastic parts in ISO 8 clean rooms for medical devices, laboratory equipment, and microelectronic applications.
Absolutely – cable overmolding, connector parts with insert pins, and multi-component parts can be manufactured reliably.
From single pieces to pre-series to medium and large series – aluminum tools are suitable for up to 1,000,000 parts, steel tools for long-lasting large series.
High precision, reproducible quality, robust materials, and versatile applications in electronics, mechanical engineering, automotive, and consumer products.
Injection Molding Process at 1zu1scale
At 1zu1scale, we have more than 20 injection molding machines with clamping forces ranging from 10 to 160 tons, which efficiently, flexibly, and reliably produce plastic parts ranging from a few millimeters to DIN A5 size. The vertical machine position allows the insertion and overmolding of a wide variety of parts, so that cable overmolding, connector parts with insert pins, or multi-component parts can also be easily produced. For optimum surface quality, we use bar, tunnel, hot runner, point, or film sprues, depending on the requirements. Hot runner sprues with needle valve nozzles in particular ensure virtually flawless surfaces on injection-molded plastic parts.
Benefits of Injection Molding Production for different Target Groups
For design and manufacturing: Injection-molded plastic parts impress with their high precision and tight tolerances. The flexible choice of materials allows adaptation to mechanical, thermal, or chemical requirements, and complex components such as multi-component or cable overmolding can be implemented without any problems.
For purchasing and project management: Projects can be realized quickly thanks to aluminum and steel tools. Manufacturing ensures reproducible quality with documented process parameters. In addition, clients benefit from graduated prices and short quotation times of only 2 working days.
