Injection Molding: Products, Examples and Applications

Injection Molding: Products, Examples and Applications What is Injection Molding? Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. It is commonly used for producing a variety of parts, from the smallest components to entire body panels of cars. During the injection molding process, a material such as plastic or metal is heated and then injected into a mold cavity. The material then cools and solidifies in the shape of the mold. The mold is then opened and the part is ejected. Injection molding is one of the most cost-effective methods for mass…
