Manufacturing Process
1. Product Design & Development
The required mammography plastic component is developed according to a CAD drawing, 3D model, physical sample, equipment assembly, or customer specification. The design is reviewed for dimensions, wall thickness, mounting method, internal clearance, adjoining-component interfaces, cleaning requirements, surface finish, and operating conditions.
2. Plastic Mould Design
The injection mould is designed according to the component geometry. Parting lines, draft angles, gate locations, runners, cooling channels, ejector arrangements, cores, inserts, and shrinkage allowances are optimized for consistent production.
Special attention is given to visible surfaces, thin sections, bosses, ribs, clips, snap-fits, and dimensional interfaces to reduce warpage, sink marks, flash, and dimensional variation.
3. Mould Manufacturing
Mould components can be manufactured using suitable mould steels such as P20 Steel, H13 Steel, or S136 Steel, depending on production volume, expected mould life, plastic material, component complexity, and surface-finish requirements.
CNC machining, EDM, drilling, grinding, polishing, precision fitting, and mould assembly are used to produce the required cavity and core geometry.
4. Injection Moulding
The selected plastic material is processed using controlled injection moulding parameters. Injection temperature, filling speed, injection pressure, holding pressure, cooling time, and cycle time are adjusted according to the material and component design.
Controlled processing helps maintain dimensional accuracy, surface quality, mounting-feature alignment, and repeatable production.
5. Finishing & Assembly Preparation
After moulding, components are inspected for flash, gate marks, sink marks, short shots, warpage, sharp edges, and surface imperfections. Where required, components can be prepared for labels, printing, surface decoration, assembly, or installation with other mammography machine parts.
6. Quality Inspection
Finished plastic components are checked for dimensional accuracy, mounting features, adjoining-part fitment, surface appearance, internal clearance, and assembly performance.
Trial assembly with the relevant mammography equipment or component can be performed to verify fitment and alignment.
Raw Materials
| Material | Suitable Application |
|---|---|
| ABS | Rigid housings, covers, bezels, and visible plastic components |
| PC+ABS | Components requiring improved impact resistance and dimensional stability |
| PC | Applications requiring higher impact and temperature performance |
| PP | Lightweight components requiring good moisture and chemical resistance |
| HIPS | Selected rigid and cost-sensitive enclosure components |
| PBT | Components requiring good dimensional and thermal performance |
| Flame-Retardant ABS | Applications requiring specified flame-performance properties |
| Flame-Retardant PC+ABS | Applications requiring enhanced fire-performance properties |
| Engineering-Grade Plastic | Demanding mechanical, thermal, or dimensional applications |
The final plastic grade should be selected according to mechanical requirements, operating temperature, cleaning and disinfectant exposure, impact resistance, dimensional stability, flame-performance requirements, surface finish, and applicable medical-device specifications.

Buyer Guide
When ordering Mammography Machine Plastic Parts Mould and Moulding Services, buyers should provide:
CAD drawing or 3D model
Physical sample where available
Component dimensions
Complete assembly details
Mounting-hole locations
Screw, clip, or snap-fit requirements
Required wall thickness
Internal clearance requirements
Cable and connector locations
Ventilation requirements where applicable
Plastic material and grade preference
Colour and surface texture
Surface-finish requirements
Cleaning and disinfectant requirements

Prototype requirements
OEM or ODM assembly requirements
For medical imaging equipment, each plastic component should be validated within the complete equipment design for mechanical fitment, cleaning and disinfectant exposure, thermal conditions, electrical or EMC considerations where applicable, and relevant medical-device requirements. Plastic covers should not be assumed to provide radiation shielding unless specifically engineered, tested, and validated for that function.
