What is Plastic Injection ?

Injection molding is a complex manufacturing process. Using a specialized hydraulic or electric machine, the process melts, injects and sets plastic into the shape of a metal mold that’s fitted into the machine.

Plastic injection molding is the most widely used components manufacturing process for a variety of reasons, including:

• Flexibility: manufacturers can choose the mold design and type of thermoplastic that’s used for each component. This means the injection molding process can produce a variety of components, including parts that are complex and highly detailed.
•  
• Efficiency: once the process has been set up and tested, injection molding machines can produce thousands of items per hour. Using electric injection molding machines also makes the process relatively energy efficient.
•  
• Consistency: if the process parameters are tightly controlled, the injection molding process can produce thousands of components quickly at a consistent quality.
•  
• Cost-effectiveness: once the mold (which is the most expensive element) has been built, the cost of production per component is relatively low, particularly if created in high numbers.
