FAQ

Common questions about injection molding.

What is injection molding used for?

Injection molding is used to produce plastic or rubber parts in volume by injecting molten material into a precision-machined mold, ideal for consistent, repeatable components from prototypes to mass production.

Does ProtoFix provide injection molding services in Ontario, across Canada and the US?

Yes. ProtoFix coordinates injection molding programs from its Ottawa, Ontario base, serving customers across Canada and the United States with both bridge and production tooling options.

What is the difference between bridge tooling and production tooling?

Bridge tooling uses lower-cost aluminum molds for initial runs of roughly 100–1,000 parts, while production tooling uses hardened steel molds built for high-volume, long-life manufacturing.

Can ProtoFix mold rubber parts as well as plastic?

Yes. ProtoFix supports rubber parts manufacturing alongside plastic injection molding, including TPE and other elastomeric materials for gaskets, seals and overmolded components.
