Product
Development and Engineering for Plastic Injection
Molding
Rebling Plastics will assist
and/or lead the way in reverse engineering, design
for manufacturing, engineering analysis, rapid
prototyping, and mold design.
Rapid
Prototyping
Today, the product development
process for molded plastic parts can be streamlined
by turning around rapid prototypes in as little
as two days.
Reverse
Engineering
At Rebling Plastics, reverse
engineering is much more than simply copying an
existing design. With the advent of new engineering
materials, many manufacturers are able to replace
expensive machining operations on metal parts
by using multi-cavity plastic injection molding.
3D
CAD Molding
Industrial designers use
3D CAD to make ergonomic and aesthetic contours
which would be next to impossible to communicate
in 2D drawings.
Tooling
and Molds
At Rebling Plastics, we
concentrate our efforts on design and processing.
That is why we use local and overseas toolmakers
to manufacture molds for plastic injection molding.
Preventative
Maintenance
At Rebling Plastics, we
believe in preventative maintenance to avoid more
costly mold repairs, quality issues and interruptions
in production.
Quick
Change Frames vs. Full Frame Molds
To reduce the initial cost
of tooling, Rebling Plastics can offer customers
the ability to use a quick change frame mold when
appropriate.
Quality
Control for Plastic Injection Molding
Parts made in a plastic
injection molding process can have their own unique
set of possible defects. That is why all of our
employees are trained to spot these problems.
Inspection
Equipment
it is important to treat
the inspection of plastic injection molding materials
differently than that of metals or other materials.
Employee
Responsibility and Training
At Rebling Plastics, we believe in keeping all
employees involved in the quality of our plastic
injection molding process. That is why in 2003
we decided to train all production personnel in
basic blueprint reading and measurement techniques.

equipment in order to mold Polyphenylene Sulfide
components in a fully crystalline state.
Plastic
Injection Molding with Polypropylene Plastic
Rebling Plastics molds polypropylene for several
end use applications including: protective caps
for electrical contacts; battery housings; and
small containers that rely on the “live
hinge” capabilities of polypropylene.
Plastic
Injection Molding with Polystyrene

of applications.
Thermosets
Thermoset plastics, primarily Epoxy, Phenolic
and DAP, have been molded by Rebling Plastics
since 1961.
Phenolic
Phenolic was the first plastic material molded
by Rebling Plastics. Since 1961, Rebling Plastics
has continued to mold this heat resistant thermoset
plastic using both the transfer and injection
molding processes.

and Certificates
Plastic
Molding Processing
At Rebling Plastics, we
perform several types of plastic molding processes
to meet our customers’ diverse needs. We
have decades of experience with thermoplastic
injection molding, insert molding (including wire
overmolding), and thermoset injection, compression
and transfer molding.
Insert
Molding
Typically insert molding,
or overmolding, requires accurately placing part(s)
made from metal or other suitable materials (referred
to as the insert) into the mold, closing the mold
and then injecting the plastic into and/or around
the insert(s).
Thermoset
Injection Molding
Thermoset injection molding
is an automated process transforming granular
material into molded shapes that Rebling Plastics
has been performing since the company’s
inception.
Thermoset
Transfer/Compression Molding
Thermoset compression molding
is typically a manual process that transforms
granular material into molded shapes by adding
material directly into an open mold cavity and
then closing the mold.
Thermoplastic
Injection Molding
Thermoplastic injection
molding is the most common way to manufacture
plastic parts. Thermoplastics are polymers that
can be heated to soften or melt, and cooled to
solidify as a physical change, rather than a chemical
change that takes place during molding of thermoset
materials.
Value
Added Processes
At Rebling Plastics, we
understand that our customers often need more
than a plastic injection molding service. Rebling
Plastics and its adjacently located and owned
affiliate, the Remcal Products Company, can provide
a turnkey solution for your product launch.
Custom
Color Matching
Having the right color part
is very important to many of our customers. Color
is especially important for consumer products,
but many industrial and military products must
have specific and consistent color as well.
Decorating
Decorating allows the flexibility
of making different text and images in a variety
of colors and finishes. Rebling Plastics uses
both pad printing and hot stamping for decorating
plastic parts.
Ultrasonic
Assembly
Rebling Plastics utilizes
ultrasonics for assembly operations that include:
welding of plastic materials; installing a metal
insert into a plastic part; and staking of plastic
parts.
