Micro Rim – Plastic Part Production

Injection molded plastic parts are made by shooting molten plastic into mold cavities-which are the negative shape of the part; letting the plastic cool; then opening the two halves of the mold and ejecting the finished plastic part(s).

Micro Rim uses your steel or aluminum mold to produce as many or as few plastic injection molded parts as you need. We typically shoot parts in the most common thermoplastics including ABS, nylon, polypropylene, HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), and TPO (thermo-plastic olefin).

Pricing is established per part and depends on the material, the complexity of the part, the volume of the mold, and the quantity of parts ordered. Micro Rim has very competitive per part pricing – both for the low-volume, short-run orders and the high-volume, long-run orders.
