Plastic injection molding stands as a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, enabling the mass production of high-precision, complex parts with remarkable efficiency. From everyday consumer goods to critical medical and automotive components, this process is vital for creating durable, repeatable, and cost-effective plastic products. At its core, injection molding is a highly technical discipline that blends material science, mechanical engineering, and precision machining.
Surface finishes for CNC car parts are key for performance and durability, critical in Australia's harsh conditions (UV, salt, temperature extremes). This article covers key techniques—anodising, powder coating, PVD/CVD, mechanical treatments—their material suitability, costs, and timelines. It guides selection based on material, use, and environment, plus Mastars' process to meet Australian standards.
