Family Tool Plastic Injection Molding

Family Tool Plastic Injection Molding is another cost-efficient solution for today’s manufacturers who are seeking to improve their production productivity output without having to sacrifice quality. This is made possible by designing the injection tool so that one mold contains different parts of a product, allowing multiple components to be molded simultaneously in a single cycle.

At Richfields, we specialize in designing and producing high-precision family tools tailored to meet the unique needs of each project. Our expertise ensures that each cavity produces parts with consistent quality and dimensional accuracy, making family tooling an ideal choice for complex assemblies or products that require multiple complementary components.

What Is Family Tool Injection Molding?

The family tool injection mold is a kind of multi-cavity mold where each cavity produces different parts of the same product. The parts produced by the different cavities may also be unrelated, but they often belong to the same product line or to the same project. This approach allows manufacturers to produce multiple components in one molding cycle, significantly improving efficiency and reducing production time.

Family tooling is especially advantageous for small to medium production runs where multiple parts are required to assemble a final product, as it minimizes the need for multiple mold setups and tooling changes.

The Benefits Of Family Tool Injection Molding

The family tool injection molding process shows different benefits, such as:

Increased Production Efficiency: In this type of injection molding process, multiple parts are produced in a single molding cycle, allowing for faster overall production compared to molding each part separately.
Cost Savings on Tooling: Tool costs can be significantly reduced, as this process can use one family mold—which eliminates the need for multiple separate mold bases.
Ideal for Low to Medium Volume Runs: Family tooling is especially beneficial when production quantities are not very high, maximizing output without the expense of additional molds.
Reduced Setup and Production Time: Time is saved by avoiding repetitive mold setups and running multiple separate production cycles.
Material Consistency: When different component parts use the same raw plastic material, family molds help ensure consistency in material properties across all parts.
