Material
PA (polyamide, nylon) is a tough, heat-resistant plastic. We mold it into strong, repeatable parts.
Overview
PA (polyamide, nylon) is a tough, heat-resistant plastic. We mold it into strong, repeatable parts.
PA, also called nylon, is a tough engineering plastic. It resists wear and heat and molds into precise parts.
We melt plastic resin and inject it into a steel mold to form identical parts.
High-volume parts with consistent size and finish, made to your drawing.

How It Works
From your file to a finished part in five clear steps. Start with a free quote.
Upload your 3D file and drawings. Get a quote with free DFM feedback, usually within 24 hours.
Our engineers check wall thickness, draft, and gates. We suggest changes that cut cost.
We design and build the steel mold that shapes your part.
We melt the resin and inject it into the mold, then cool and eject the part.
We check dimensions and quality, then pack and ship worldwide.
Applications
Clips, connectors, and housings.
Low-friction moving parts.
Durable handles and frames.
Tough, chemical-proof parts.
Design Tips
New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.
Use a steady wall thickness so the part fills evenly and warps less.
A small draft (1–2°) on vertical faces helps the part release from the mold.
Plastics shrink as they cool. We size the mold to land on your final dimensions.
Finishes
The natural molded surface straight from the tool. Lowest cost.
A custom color coat for branding or looks.
A matte or patterned surface for grip or style.
A glossy protective layer for a premium look.
