Understanding Injection Molding

You may have heard the term ‘injection molding‘ but do not really understand what the process is or why it’s used. There are many interesting processes in plastics and polymer production that can serve the needs of a wide variety of customers. Injection molding is one of the more popular processes in polymer manufacturing as it offers many benefits, especially for those who are processing mass quantities of plastic goods.

What is Injection Molding?

Injection molding refers to a manufacturing process that uses high-pressure raw material injection into a mold that shapes the polymer into the desired form. This process is most often used in the mass production of plastic parts, where the same part is being created thousands or sometimes even millions of times. Molds come in many shapes and sizes and may have single or multiple cavities. Molds are made from a variety of materials, such as aluminum or steel. The material used for the mold will depend on the shape of the mold, the specifics of the project as well as the budget.

Why Choose Injection Molding

Most who choose injection molding do so because of its ability to easily produce a large number of parts. This production process is attractive because once the initial set-up costs have been paid, the price for production per unit is quite low. The more parts that are produced, the cheaper the per-unit price becomes, so this is a great production process when mass production is needed.
