What is injection molding and how does it work?

2024-10-30

Injection Molding is a widely used manufacturing process to produce plastic parts in large volumes. It is the process of injecting molten material into a mold cavity, then allowing it to solidify and take the required shape. The process starts with the creation of a polymer preform or compound, which is then melted and injected into the mold under high pressure. Once the mold has cooled, the resulting part can be removed, and the process is repeated for the next part. Injection Molding has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, and it has made it possible to produce high-quality, cost-effective products in large quantities.
