Production of plastic molds. Manufacturers of plastic toys in Russia Production of plastic products to order
The KITprom company offers a full range of services for the design, production of special molds and production of plastic products of varying degrees of complexity and in any volume. Custom plastic products are created using vacuum forming equipment, metalworking machines, thread cutting lines, injection molding machines and other technical equipment.
Production of plastic products: basic technologies
Modern production of plastic products is carried out using different methods and technologies. Most popular:
- vacuum forming (use of ready-made sheet materials exposed to air at different intensities);
- blowing (feeding heated plastic into an open mold, after which the container is closed and compressed air is supplied to it to blow the raw material along the walls);
- extrusion (pushing softened plastic through the holes of a molding tool);
- casting (placing plastic in a liquid state into a mold in which the production of plastic products occurs).
The technological process of casting is represented by three important stages: at the first, a sample of the future part is made, at the second, a silicone mold (or from another material) is produced, at the third, casting is carried out using the thermoset method.
Small-scale production of plastic products
If you need custom-made plastic products in small quantities, we recommend paying attention to small-scale production using modern 3D technologies. This service is relevant in the engineering and technical field, in particular in the manufacture of various elements of mechanisms, fastening materials, and plugs.
Small-scale production of plastic products is:
- minimum terms of release of finished products;
- reduction of financial costs for design;
- the ability to eliminate existing errors at the initial stage;
- increasing the quality of manufactured plastic products.
Find out more information on this and other issues from KITprom employees.
We produce plastic parts such as handles, bushings, gaskets, plugs, guides, profiles.
Manufacturing plastic parts to order allows the customer to obtain products of a certain shape in any quantity at an affordable cost. For each order, molds are developed using special technology, which reduces the cost of products and makes them competitive in the market.
Production stages
Here are the stages of manufacturing plastic products:
The production facilities of the Plastics Factory company allow casting of products of any shape and batch. For production, molds of our own design or those provided by the customer can be used. The raw materials used are our own or supplied.
During the production process, the extruder hopper is filled with granules of polyethylene, propylene or other thermoplastic, which are melted to the technical melting point and fed under pressure into the mold. High pressure makes it possible to produce products of increased strength and complex shapes. After removal from the mold, the plastic blank undergoes additional processing to eliminate minor defects and quality control. In high pressure casting, the product is ready to be shipped to the customer after removal from the mold.
The advantage of the company "Plastic Plant"
The advantages of the company “Plastic Plant”, which has been operating on the market since 1997, are obvious, because it:
The company works with various thermoplastics, in particular granulated polystyrene, polypropylene, polycarbonate and other thermoplastics are used.
From the moment the contract is concluded to the shipment of a batch of plastic products, a minimum of time passes, the cost of casting does not exceed the market average, and there are no questions about the quality of the products.

A business idea for organizing small-scale production of products from various injection molding materials at home. Thanks to innovative technologies, today in the production of plastic products it is possible to do without expensive automatic thermoplastic machines. Moreover, you can set up small-scale mini-production right on your desktop. This business idea can be considered in two directions:
- As the main business of manufacturing finished products and molds by casting from: liquid:
- plastic;
- silicone;
- polyurethane;
- transparent resins and other materials.
- Mold making as an effective addition to other types of business in the area:
- construction;
- Food Industry;
- soap making
In the first and second cases, casting at home does not require large financial investments. You can start an injection molding business simply now.
Manufacturing using liquid plastics
The manufacturing process is carried out using liquid plastics and silicone molds. Now it is possible to produce plastic products in small batches at home:
- souvenirs;
- toys;
- costume jewelry;
- spare parts for auto tuning;
- spare parts for various mechanical devices;
- shoes;
- dishes
There are components for the manufacture of parts from thin-walled plastic, which can significantly expand the range of products and produce parts of any complexity. For example, mixing two components of the Axson FASTCAST F32 brand from a French manufacturer makes it possible to obtain a super-liquid plastic that flows into the smallest folds of the relief of the model’s shape. In addition, it is harmless to children and has no odor.
Pre-production
To organize production, you will first need a sample model. Using it, you first need to make a mold from special silicone or polyurethane components. With experience and the quality of materials, you can learn to remove molds from models at such a high level that fingerprints will even be visible on the products (if necessary). That is, the copy will be at the level of identity, which cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. Plastic products can be given complex compounds with any relief. If there is no ready-made model for a sample, but you need to make unique products, you can order it from the owners of a 3D printer. By the way, casting significantly exceeds the productivity of 3D printing from plastic.
When your product is ready, you can design it using related products that come with liquid plastics:
- paints for artistic effects;
- primers;
- glue.
Naturally, in some cases you cannot do without creativity, and you will have to manually paint the products, which may affect productivity. But creating every business is undoubtedly a creative process. After all, financial management is an art.
We make a product from liquid plastic
The technology for creating an ideal small relief when making it in a silicone mold with your own hands. First you need to prepare all the components and materials. We will need:
- Silicone Platinum.
- Liquid plastic Axson FASTCAST F18 (white color, has the consistency of water, odorless!).
- Scarlet dye for silicone.
- Polyurethane varnish.
- Scales.
- Syringe.
- File-buff.
We securely fix the sample model to the bottom of the formwork to form the mold, using neutral wax plasticine (to avoid leakage of silicone). We paint the silicone from which the finished mold will be made scarlet, so that the quality of mixing the components of the liquid, white to the color of the plastic can be clearly seen on the mold. Helpful advice: in order for the shape to be perfect, you should first coat the sample model with silicone using a wide brush. Thus, carefully fill all the depressions of the relief with compound. Only after this, fill the form completely. We fill the entire formwork with silicone. Leave it for 7-8 hours to fix the mold structure. The hardest part is over.
Congratulations!!! Now you have a ready-made mold for repeated production of copies of the sample model. Before starting casting, make sure the mold is completely dry to avoid bubbles. Then we very carefully mix the plastic components 1:1 by weight (for this it is better to use a pharmacy or laboratory electronic scale). Setting time is 7 minutes, but it will take another 20 minutes to fully set. This plastic is neutral to silicone and does not stick to it. But after repeated use of the compounds over time, you may need a release lubricant with the protective properties of EaseRelease. After the required time has elapsed, we take out the finished product, which is copied exactly according to the sample.
Polyurethane forms for construction
Along with plastic products, injection molds can be produced. The use of injection molds in construction is now very popular. It is possible to produce compounds for the production of building materials. They are durable and do not require treatment with special release lubricants during manufacturing. After all, concrete is absolutely neutral to polyurethane. For example, liquid polyurethane compounds make it possible to produce molds for filling:
- concrete decorative products (tiles, fences, etc.);
- plaster elements of interior decoration (balusters, stucco, etc.);
- liquid plastic when creating a wide variety of products (souvenirs, toys, figurines, etc.).
Silicone molds for confectionery and soap making
The application of mold casting technology in the food industry is quite obvious. New innovative solutions in the field of chemistry today offer liquid: plastics, silicones, silicone masses that meet all health standards and have the appropriate certificates. Such safe components can be used to make molds for the food industry. For example, for production:
- chocolate;
- caramel;
- isomalt;
- ice;
- mastics.
Compounds are also in great demand among soap makers. They always need new, original molds to create sellable souvenirs made from soap. It is not at all difficult to find a customer who wants to make their products with a unique shape.
Opportunities for a small business idea
This business idea makes it easy to create popular products with your own hands. Finished works can be sold through an online store. It is also possible to provide services or sell finished compounds to other manufacturers in other industries. The most important thing is that with all these wide possibilities of home business, the cost of components is more than affordable. The range of components is wide and allows you to select the necessary materials for creating forms or filling them. All that is required is a sample model from which the mold will be removed. This business idea is very attractive for a home business. It does not require a lot of costs, allows you to produce useful goods and captivates you with the creative production process.
Making custom plastic products is the first step towards creating a product using injection molding. An important point here is the manufacturability of the future product and the optimal selection of material for it.
Development involves the preparation of a complete package of design documentation:
- Creation of drawings for products.
- Creation of 3D models.
- Selection of material (type of plastic).
To create design documentation you need:
- A sketch or sample of a future product.
If you already have a drawing or 3D model of a future product, our specialists will check them for suitability for further use in the production of plastic products. If we have a sample of the product, we can create drawings and a 3D model, as well as conduct a chemical analysis of the plastic to determine its type. - Information about the operation of the future product (for the selection of material):
- Temperature conditions of use.
- Resistance to aggressive environments.
- Flammability class.
- Tracking resistance.
- And other operational features.
Based on the design documentation, we can calculate the cost of producing a plastic product, design and manufacture a mold.
About deadlines
A complete package of design documentation - from 3 working days (subject to the availability of information in the required quantity and appropriate quality). Depending on the complexity of the project, the time frame may be extended
Cost of manufacturing plastic products
When making a mold with us, a package of design documentation is given as a gift. When manufacturing a mold on the side, the price is calculated individually for each project
