Vents and Cold Slug Injection Molding Cosmetic Repair

The Problem – Molded Parts were rejected due to Appearance issues. Visible defects in the molded parts.

The Solution – MPP knows what it takes to build a mold that produces quality, precise, and visually acceptable parts

MPP received E.C to a tool that we did not build.
The previous mold maker did not put vents or cold slugs in the mold resulting in unsatisfactory parts. The parts were rejected due to appearance.
They were glossy and had shiny spots with lots of splays that resembled cracks and flow lines.
Due to this, our customer was not able to produce parts for his customer in the timeframe they were expecting.
MPP took the tool and added these items, improving the mold's performance, and were able to mold acceptable/approved parts
We completed this project in less than 7 days
