| Glossy | A grade finishes are made using a diamond buffing process and yield shiny and glossy surfaces on injection molded parts. | Learn More>> |
| Semi-glossy | B grade finishes use grit sandpaper to produce parts with a slightly rougher finish than grade A parts. Custom molded plastic parts that undergo B grade finishing have a matte surface texture. | |
| Matte | C grade finishes use grit sanding stones to produce a rough, uneven surface. Injection plastic parts that undergo C grade finishing have a matte surface texture. | Learn More>> |
| Textured | D grade finishes use grit and dry glass beads or oxide to produce a very rough textured finish. Depending on the type of material used, products can have a satin or dull finish. |

RapidDirect’s plastic injection molding service is perfect for addressing the various demands of different industries, including the automotive, medical, and consumer goods fields.
Our mold-making process includes 6 steps:
Step 1: Production arrangement: Determine all of the requirements and arrange the production.
Step 2: DFM report analysis: Provide free but detailed production DFM report for further feasibility analysis.
Step 3: Production the mold: Put the mold into production and provide the Tooling Schedule form for the whole cycle for clients to check the process at any time.
Step 4: Free sample to test: Put the mold into production and provide the Tooling Schedule form for the whole cycle for clients to check the process at any time.
Step 5: Mass production:Client confirms the samples are qualified, then officially proceed with the subsequent production.
Step 6: Mold saving: Production is completed and delivered after quality inspection. Mold will be cleaned and properly stored for the next round of parts production.
Tolerance is very important, and if not correctly specified and controlled, assembling will fail. RapidDirect uses ISO 2068-c standard for injection molding tolerances unless tighter tolerance required.
No minimum order quantity, but the oder pricing will be more competitive if qty is higher.
After you place order, it takes about 35 days for mold designing and making, and more 3-5 days for molded parts production.
Generally, we generate the quote after our platform must have considered several factors, including the size of the component, mold complexity, number of injection cavities, materials, post-processing needs, etc.
