Welcome to [Qingdao Xinlongji Metal Manufacturing Co., Ltd.], a professional integrated enterprise of production and foreign trade with over 10 years of focused experience in plastic injection molding. We specialize in the R&D, production and customization of high-precision drone casing injection molded parts, providing reliable, drone-specific molding solutions for global B2B clients including consumer drone brands, industrial drone manufacturers, and drone component suppliers. Our core strengths lie in drone-adapted injection molding technology, professional technical support, strict quality control systems, and comprehensive global logistics services, making us a trusted partner for numerous international drone enterprises across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Product Overview: Drone Casing Injection Molded Parts
Our drone casing injection molded parts adhere to the core formula of "product name + core function + technical advantage + application scenario + quality guarantee", tailored to the rigorous requirements of drone operation. Core functions include: protecting internal precision components (flight control, battery, sensor), achieving lightweight design to enhance flight endurance, and providing excellent weather resistance (adapt to -20℃ to 60℃, waterproof, dustproof).
Technical advantages: We adopt high-precision injection molding technology combined with mold flow analysis to optimize the casing structure, ensuring uniform wall thickness (reducing weight deviation to ≤3%) and high dimensional accuracy for seamless assembly. The parts are manufactured with high-strength, lightweight plastic materials, balancing structural rigidity and weight reduction needs. Application scenarios cover consumer drones (photography, entertainment), industrial drones (surveying, inspection, logistics), and special-purpose drones (military, rescue).
Quality guarantee: All products comply with RoHS, REACH environmental protection standards and IP54+ waterproof and dustproof requirements. We provide customized services based on clients' 3D drawings, sample prototypes, and specific flight scenario needs, ensuring each casing perfectly matches the drone's overall design and performance requirements.
Production Processes & Process Visualization
With in-depth expertise in drone casing injection molding, we have mastered core processes tailored to drone product characteristics, including drone-specific mold design, lightweight material pre-treatment, precision injection molding, and post-processing. Injection molding is our core process, where we use intelligent injection molding machines with real-time parameter monitoring (temperature, pressure, speed) to adapt to the flow properties of lightweight, high-strength plastics. In addition to injection molding, we also provide supplementary processes such as CNC precision trimming (for edge smoothing), waterproof sealing treatment, surface matte/glossy finishing, and logo customization (silk screen, laser engraving), realizing one-stop service to meet the comprehensive processing needs of drone casings.
To enhance transparency and credibility, we visualize the entire production process with full traceability, a key strategy to strengthen client trust:
Demand Communication & Technical Evaluation: Professional engineers with drone industry experience dock with clients to clarify technical requirements (dimensional tolerance, weight limit, weather resistance level), conduct mold flow analysis for drone casing structural optimization, and avoid potential assembly or flight performance issues.
Drone-Specific Mold Design & Manufacturing: Custom high-precision molds using wear-resistant mold steel; conduct strict mold testing and debugging with drone assembly fixtures to ensure dimensional accuracy and seamless fit with internal components.
Material Pre-Treatment & Inspection: Select lightweight, high-strength plastics (ABS, PC, ABS+PC, carbon fiber-reinforced plastic) that meet drone flight requirements; conduct strict material inspection (composition analysis, tensile strength testing); dry moisture-sensitive materials to avoid defects such as bubbles that affect structural strength.
Precision Injection Molding: Use intelligent injection molding machines to control molding parameters precisely; adopt low-pressure filling technology for thin-walled casing parts to ensure uniform material filling; implement 100% online monitoring of key production links to avoid weight deviation.
Demolding & Post-Processing: Smooth demolding with dedicated soft fixtures to avoid casing scratches; remove gates and burrs; conduct CNC precision trimming if needed to meet strict dimensional and weight requirements.
Drone-Adapted Surface & Functional Treatment: Implement processes such as anti-scratch matte finishing, waterproof coating, and UV protection according to client requirements; customize logos or identification marks via silk screen or laser engraving.
Comprehensive Quality Inspection: Use precision testing equipment such as CMM, 3D scanners, and weight scales to inspect dimensions, weight, and surface quality; conduct weather resistance and waterproof testing (IP rating verification) for key products.
Packaging & Shipping: Adopt anti-scratch, shockproof packaging (EPE foam, blister packaging) to protect the fragile casing surfaces; cooperate with international logistics companies for global delivery, ensuring safe and timely arrival.
