How does plastic injection molding work?

 

Put simply, injection molding boils down to a few simple steps:

One- Melt the plastic material

Two- Inject the material into the metal mold

Three- Let the material cool

Four- remove the finished piece from the mold

Of course, the process is a bit more complicated than that in practice. You can learn more about the plastic injection molding process here

 

The advantages of custom injection molding

 

One of the most important and useful aspects of molding plastic parts is the material used. There are many different types of plastic material available, each with their own properties and strengths.
