Carbon Fiber Composite Molded Component
I need thousands of polymer parts. Who moulds this material, and what is the tooling cost?
What it is
Polymer part produced directly to shape by injection or compression moulding. Economic only at volume because of tooling cost, but far cheaper per part than machining from stock once the tool exists.
- Typical dimensions
- Limited by press tonnage and shot size.
- Also known as
- moulded part, injection moulded component, insert moulded part
Suppliers
Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.

Reinhold Industries, Inc. Reported
Ablative composite components for rocket propulsion, including rocket nozzle assemblies, and structural components in ablative heat-resistant composite for missiles and smart bomb systems. NOTE: Reinhold's work is ABLATIVE composite. Material designed to char and erode at a predictable rate to protect the structure behind it. It is qualified on recession rate rather than strength retention, so do not treat it as interchangeable with a structural laminate. This atlas has no ablative product entry, so it is recorded against the nearest modelled form.
