There are three general categories of plastic injection mold tools that product designers can consider when making finished parts. They each have advantages, largely depending on the intended volumes. Let\u2019s take a closer look at which type might be best for your project. <\/span>A single cavity plastic injection mold tool is the most basic form of tooling, and the most common. With this type of tooling, one production cycle makes one finished part.<\/span><\/p>\n

Multi cavity tools have at least two cavities and two cores, with a practical limit of potentially hundreds of small cores and cavities. All of the shapes are the same, and they\u2019re made in balanced, even-numbered pairs. Because there are so many cavities, one production cycle can make dozens or even hundreds of finished parts, depending on the capacity of the molding machine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Family tools also have multiple cavities and cores, but in this case they\u2019re different sizes and shapes. We do this when we want to make all of the necessary components of a finished assembly in one single production cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
