Injection moulding is a manufacturing process that allows for plastic parts to be produced in large volumes. Injection moulding materials include thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, such as ABS, PP, PVC, PC, POM, PA, PBT, PEEK...
Injection molded parts are created by pouring raw plastic resin into a hopper, then heating the resin and injecting it into a custom mold. Pressure is used accommodate shrinkage and once the plastic molded part has fully cooled, the mold is opened, and the parts are removed. Because of the tight tolerances, plastic injection molding is a suitable option for both standard and intricate plastic molded parts of all sizes.
Plastic injection molding provides tight tolerances and repeatability and is ideal for high volume production of plastic injection molded parts.
The injection moulding need to create the mould firstly. Once the mould ready, the material for the part is fed into a heated barrel and mixed using a helical shaped screw. Heating bands melt the material in the barrel and the molten metal or molten plastic material is then fed into the mould cavity where it cools and hardens, matching the shape of the mould. Pressure is used accommodate shrinkage and once the plastic molded part has fully cooled, the mold is opened, and the parts are removed.
Because of the tight tolerances, plastic injection molding is a suitable option for both standard and complex plastic molded parts of all sizes.
