Why Choosing Gas Assist Injection Molding Service from Holly?

The gas-assisted molding method is adopted to fill the cavity with quantitative plasticized plastic. The gas injection pressure must be greater than the injection pressure to achieve the hollow state of the product. After the finished product is filled with gas, the pressure of the gas acts on the hollow part of the finished product to become the holding pressure, which can greatly reduce the shrinkage and deformation rate of the finished product.

The Holly team specializes in gas-assisted product structure optimization, mold structure optimization design and manufacturing, so that it can perform correct feasibility analysis of the project and provide you with a cost-effective solution. There is no doubt that Kaimar’s experience and capabilities in the gas-assisted injection molding industry can meet your requirements.

Any inquiry for gas-assisted injection molding is welcome, we will respond you in 4 hours.

What CAD type do you accept?

Our preference is the 3D CAD files, such as STP, STEP, X-T, IGS.

How to get a quotation for the mold cost and part price?

Send us CAD files (such as STEP format), and tell us the quantity, material, surface finish, color, or other requirements you need, then we will check and evaluate, and give you a suggestion for the part design and quote you.
