The maximum wall thickness FirstMold can achieve in PC injection molding primarily depends on the design and manufacturing quality of the mold, as well as the performance of the PC material. Generally, the maximum wall thickness can exceed 20mm.

The minimum wall thickness is also influenced by many factors, such as the strength of the mold material, injection molding process parameters, the size and position of inserts, and the design of the gate. Generally, the minimum wall thickness should be above 2mm to ensure the strength and stability of the mold.

FirstMold’s professional team will design and manufacture the mold according to client needs and product characteristics, ensuring the mold wall thickness meets production requirements while maintaining the mold’s stability and lifespan.

FirstMold conducts thorough testing of the mechanical properties of PC injection molded products by adhering to international standards like ASTM and ISO. Tests include tensile, flexural, and impact assessments to evaluate strength, stiffness, and toughness. Additionally, hardness and thermal analyses like DSC and TGA are performed to ensure the material’s performance under various conditions. Dimensional accuracy and structural integrity checks are also crucial to meet precise design specifications.

The testing process involves initial material verification, production of test samples under standard conditions, and comprehensive mechanical and thermal testing. FirstMold compiles detailed reports of all testing phases and maintains close communication with clients to ensure the products meet both regulatory standards and client-specific requirements, ensuring reliability and suitability for intended applications.
