Product Made By Injection Moulding
When manufacturers produce plastic molded
parts, there are several processes available. The most popular process to
produce high quality and cost effective plastic parts is injection molding
process. It is one of the most oldest manufacturing processes, but it’s ability
of produce high volume of complex parts makes it to be a popular way with
manufacturer around the world.
There are many applications ranging from
complex and intricate components to larger more simple item such as everyday
use Product Made By Injection Moulding.
The plastic injection molding process is a
manufacturing method for producing plastic parts in high volume from
thousands to millions of units. To have the process start, mold makers will
build the mold and tool which are used to make the plastic injection parts. The
mold consists of core and cavity and includes all geometry and features which
make up the part specifications. When the process starts, the melted resin
is injected into a hollow mold until it is fully filled. The process uses high
and extreme pressure and high speed to fill the interior with molten plastic
resin or liquid polymers. The molds are cooled to get the finished plastic
parts.
In our daily life, we can see many typical
products made by injection mold. For example, plastic bottle, electronic
housing, toys, agricultural, household, machinery and automotive parts,
healthcare industry. Once a functional molding is built, the injection molding
process is repeated. The injection molding process is repeatable and reliable
for high volume production. With its ability to produce multi-cavity injection
mold parts, if the first part is being created, the second part is practically
identical. Manufacturers can create multiple complex parts at once. Injection
molding has a wide range of material selection. There’s also few need for
finishing and processing the manufactured part, making it more cost effective
and efficient. The main disadvantage is that it request high initial costs of
mold design as design, testing, and tooling requirements and long lead time.
Injection parts request high careful designed consideration in geometry because
the material selection to assure stability.
Injection molding is the most common manufacturing method due to its capability and efficiency to produce daily used items. It is also one of the most cost effective methods to build functional prototypes and end use parts.
