Injection Molding Built Around Your Part and Production Needs.
From process review and machine selection to molding, trial and production support, PALUM handles injection molding projects around the actual part geometry, material, mold structure and project-specific production requirements.
Molding Decisions Built Around Your Part and Production Needs.
Injection molding is not simply a matter of placing a mold into a machine. The molding approach needs to reflect the part geometry, material, tooling structure and the actual production requirements of the project.
PALUM coordinates machine selection, molding process and production support around the specific part and mold, helping keep tooling decisions connected to the intended production route.
The molding process is developed around the part, material and tooling requirements, not treated as a fixed production recipe.
Part & Material Requirements
Molding decisions begin with the actual component, selected material and project-specific production requirements.
Process & Equipment Match
PALUM supports injection molding with equipment from 50T to 530T, allowing machine and process selection to follow the requirements of each project.
Trial to Production
After tooling approval, projects can move from mold trial into injection molding production according to the agreed production plan.

Molding Approaches for Different Part Requirements.
PALUM supports different injection molding approaches according to part structure, insert requirements, material combination and production setup.
Overmolding
Overmolding combines multiple materials or molded layers within one component. Process planning focuses on material compatibility, interface bonding, part geometry and the functional requirements of the finished part.
Insert Molding
Insert molding integrates metal or other pre-formed inserts directly into the molded plastic part. Insert positioning, material behavior and molding conditions are reviewed together to support stable part structure and repeatable production.
Vertical Injection Molding
Vertical injection molding is particularly suitable for parts that require manual or automated insert placement. The vertical machine configuration helps support stable insert positioning during the molding cycle and is commonly used for insert-intensive components.
Other Molding Processes
Materials Selected Around Your Part Requirements.
PALUM supports a range of thermoplastic and engineering resin materials for injection molding projects. Material selection is reviewed according to part function, appearance, mechanical requirements and molding conditions.
ABS Molding
General-purpose thermoplastic for molded components.
PA Molding
Engineering nylon materials for functional molded parts.
PBT Molding
Engineering resin option for project-specific molded parts.
PC Molding
Polycarbonate processing for molded plastic components.
PEEK Molding
High-performance resin processing for suitable applications.
PMMA Molding
Acrylic material processing for appearance-focused molded parts.
POM Molding
Engineering thermoplastic for precision functional components.
PP Molding
Polypropylene processing for a range of molded applications.
Material availability and grade selection are confirmed according to the specific part, application and production requirements.
Finishing Options for Production-Ready Plastic Parts.
PALUM supports selected surface finishing, decoration and post-processing operations according to part appearance, functional requirements and the agreed production scope.
In-Mold Finishes
In-Mold Surface Finish
Surface appearance can be defined through the mold surface itself, allowing molded parts to reproduce gloss, matte or other project-specific finish requirements directly during molding.
Mold Texturing
Textured mold surfaces can create defined visual and tactile effects on molded parts, including matte, grain and other project-specific surface patterns.
Surface Preparation
Sandblasting
Sandblasting can be used for selected parts to create a more uniform matte appearance or prepare surfaces for subsequent finishing operations.
Grinding & Polishing
Selected molded parts can be ground or polished to improve visible surfaces, remove localized marks or support project-specific appearance requirements.
Coating & Metallization
Spraying
Spray coating can add color, surface feel or decorative appearance according to the part design and finishing specification.
Electroplating
Electroplating can provide selected plastic components with a metallic appearance and project-specific decorative or functional surface characteristics.
PVD
PVD finishing can be considered for suitable plastic parts where a metallic decorative appearance or specific surface effect is required.
Additional Marking & Decoration Options
Additional marking and decoration options can include screen printing, pad printing, hot stamping and laser engraving, depending on the part and project requirements.
Questions Buyers Ask Before Production Starts.
These answers cover the practical questions that usually come up before an injection molding project moves into quotation, tooling review and production planning.
Final requirements depend on part geometry, material, tooling structure, production volume and any project-specific finishing or validation needs.
What information does PALUM need to quote an injection molding project?
Part drawings or 3D files are the best starting point. Material requirements, expected production volume, surface or appearance requirements, insert details, existing mold information and any project-specific quality requirements can also help PALUM review the molding approach and quotation more accurately.
What injection molding machine sizes does PALUM support?
PALUM supports injection molding equipment from 50T to 1000T. Machine selection is matched to the mold size, part geometry, material and the specific molding requirements of each project.
What materials can PALUM process for injection molding?
PALUM supports a range of thermoplastics and engineering resins, including ABS, PA, PBT, PC, PEEK, PMMA, POM and PP. Material grade and availability are confirmed according to the part, application and production requirements.
Can PALUM support insert molding, overmolding and other molding processes?
Yes. PALUM supports injection molding processes including insert molding, overmolding, vertical injection molding, 1K and 2K molding, multi-cavity molding, as well as gas-assisted and water-assisted molding for suitable projects.
Can PALUM provide surface finishing and post-processing after molding?
Yes. Depending on the project scope, PALUM can support selected finishing and post-processing operations such as mold texturing, sandblasting, grinding and polishing, spraying, electroplating, PVD, screen printing, pad printing, hot stamping and laser engraving.
