Scientific molding is an overall term applied to the data-driven molding process: data gathered from complex testing throughout new-tool development and part-production processes is used to refine and perfect those processes. Most of this testing monitors conditions (cavity pressure, viscosity, psi, cooling rate, etc.) within the mold, revealing the polymer’s qualities and how it is reacting in the mold.

The scientific injection molding process requires an engineering team that is specially trained and certified. Kaysun focuses on designing and developing new tools and optimizing the custom injection molding process to give our manufacturing partners the best possible results. Our engineers use the data to correct inconsistencies, ensure repeatability, and maximize efficiency. Through scientific molding, we ensure our manufacturing partners custom injection molded plastic parts of the lowest cost and highest quality—parts that are perfect visually and dimensionally.

Decoupled molding is the main component of scientific molding. In this state-of-the-art molding method, the fill, pack and hold stages are separated for optimum control, as opposed to the traditional molding method. Read more about the different types of decoupled injection molding processes.
