Our capabilities include:

  • Multi-cavity and stack moulds for efficient, high-output manufacturing
  • Tight tolerance control for consistent, precise results
  • Advanced techniques such as 2K injection moulding, insert moulding, and overmoulding
  • Production of complex, multi-material components

Beyond injection moulding, Dotmar supports your full production process with value-added services like in-mould labelling (IML), assembly, and packaging for ready-to-use solutions.

Partnering with Dotmar means gaining a streamlined workflow process that reduces handling, saves time, and simplifies an all-in-one comprehensive solution for your project.

Injection Moulding FAQs

1. How long does injection moulding take?

Prototyping and tooling are the longest stages, while production cycles are typically fast and highly efficient once underway.

2. What plastics can be injection moulded?

A wide range of materials can be used, including polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, acetal, polycarbonate, and high-performance engineering polymers.

3. Can you injection mould acrylic?

Yes. Acrylic can be injection moulded, though it requires careful process control due to its brittleness and sensitivity to stress.

4. Can silicone be injection moulded?

Yes. Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) can be injection moulded for applications requiring flexibility, temperature resistance, and durability.

5. What's the difference between injection moulding and compression moulding?

Injection moulding forces molten material into a mould under pressure, making it ideal for high-volume, complex parts. Compression moulding uses heat and pressure without injection, typically suited to simpler shapes and different material types.
