Injection molding is one of the most widely used methods for mass manufacture of items like cars, car parts, pet bottles, etc. It is a process by which material is injected into a mould used usually to manufacture small or large parts of a larger assembly. One of the most common applications of injection molding is to produce plastic housings which are used in a variety of household appliances, consumer electronics, etc. Buckets, toothbrushes, medical devices like syringes and the valves are manufactured using injection molding.<\/p>\n

Injection Molding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The four processes involved in an injection molding process which all together take typically between two and four minutes\u00a0 are:<\/p>\n

Clamping, injection, cooling and ejection<\/p>\n

Clamping is securing the mould before injection, typically clamping together both its halves<\/p>\n

Injection \u2013 is injection of the material to be molded, usually melted plastic<\/p>\n

The cooling \u2013 molten plastic begins to cool as soon as it comes in contact with the mould surface.<\/p>\n

Ejection \u2013 after sufficient cooling, the molded part may be ejected from the molding machine.<\/p>\n

Building the mould to utmost precision is the main task, rather than the process of molding itself. Finishing of a mould by machines can take up to 20 hours.<\/p>\n
