StraiTek provides premium injection molding services, meeting the needs of a diverse range of industries and applications. We specialize in delivering high-quality, short-run manufacturing solutions for up to 1 million pieces, although runs up to 100,000 pieces represent our “sweet spot.” We can process a wide variety of engineering-grade materials, from versatile polycarbonates, thermoplastics and engineering plastics, and elastomers to composites, bioplastics, and high-performance PEEK. Our streamlined processes and optimized scheduling often mean that we can schedule tooling runs immediately, minimizing delays. As opposed to production facilities, StraiTek parts can be manufactured and ready for use within days, allowing clients to meet tight project deadlines.
We also understand the need for precision and reliability in injection molded components, which is why we undertake rigorous, thorough inspections throughout the entire manufacturing process, ensuring that we meet target dimensions and specifications. QA aspects include:
- Process development using scientific molding principles
- StraiTek standard protocols to meet customer IQ/OQ/PQ requirements
- Validated processes for bridge tooling and low-volume molding
- Class 10,000 Clean Room
Mold Manufacturing Process
StraiTek utilizes steel in its mold manufacturing process. Steel molds are commonly used for higher-volume applications due to their exceptional durability and longevity. With their robust construction, steel molds can withstand the high pressures and temperatures involved in the injection molding process, ensuring consistent and precise production over extended production runs. In addition, they offer an extended lifespan and great resistance to wear and tear, resulting in reduced maintenance costs and increased overall productivity. Steel molds also offer excellent dimensional stability, making them suitable for applications that demand tight tolerances and intricate part designs.
