Material and process selection in plastic injection moulding
Unsure which material or process to choose for your injection-moulded part?
Cemiplast advises in Switzerland on the most suitable material and injection process for your plastic part. This choice takes into account its function, regulatory constraints and production volumes.
Material selection in plastic injection moulding: form follows function
At Cemiplast, material and process selection is part of a global approach to the product life cycle. Future production volumes, economic constraints and regulatory requirements are taken into account from the design stage, for technical integration tailored to the customer’s requirements.
Material selection in plastic injection moulding: single-material, two-component or multi-material
Depending on the part’s functional requirements, Cemiplast guides the customer towards single-material, two-component or multi-material injection moulding, with or without insert overmoulding. It draws on its expertise in complex materials, developed in micro injection moulding.
For the most technical material choices, Cemiplast also draws on its partnerships with Swiss universities of applied sciences and preferred mould makers. It thus secures compatibility between material, part geometry and injection process before moving to prototyping.

Frequently asked questions about material selection in plastic injection moulding
Cemiplast advises on material selection based on the part’s function, regulatory constraints and target production volumes. This approach covers the entire product life cycle.
Single-material injection moulding uses a single plastic. Two-component injection moulding combines two materials in the same part, for example to combine a rigid section and a flexible section.
Yes. For the most technical choices, Cemiplast also draws on its partnerships with Swiss universities of applied sciences and preferred mould makers.
Yes. Insert overmoulding is also one of Cemiplast’s specialities, in single-material, two-component or multi-material depending on the part.
Yes. Cemiplast also moulds products in bio-based materials, as part of its eco-responsibility approach.
