Ep 87 - Injection Molding with Adam Smith President of Millennium Plastics


Listen Later

Injection molding is just what it sounds, using a mold, injecting it with melted material and hardening that material to create the desired product.  It’s not as simple as it sounds, though.  Everything that goes into injection molding must be a quality product to produce tight tolerances.  In this episode, Adam describes to what tolerances he is creating parts as a supplier to OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers).  The molds sometimes must be prepped with a coating in order to preserve the quality of the mold.  In addition, the coating can help tighten the tolerance on the product.  We learned that most OEM’s will not even talk to a supplier if they are not ISO 9001 certified and it is best to have other automotive standard certifications.  Adam also briefly discussed dipping his toes in the medical device industry, but after going into detail as to what is involved in that, we understand why they do not venture into it much.
