Plastic injection molding machines are used in many industries to create plastic products, including:
MedicalInjection molding machines are used to manufacture large quantities of medical devices made from plastic, rubber, and other materials.
Automotive and machineryPlastic parts made from injection molding are used in these industries because they are durable and resistant to wear and tear.
Food and beveragePlastic injection molding is used to create packaging for food and drinks, such as trays, boxes, shrink wrap, bags, and protective layers.
Household appliancesPlastic injection molding is used to create ergonomic features, low-heat, electrical conductivity, electrical insulation, color-ability, and clarity in household appliances.
Injection molding is a process that involves injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity, where it cools and hardens into the desired shape. Some benefits of injection molding include:
Customizable molds: Companies can customize the entire production process by swapping out materials and colors.
Fast manufacturing: Injection molding is a fast way to craft products.
Prototype tooling: Prototype tooling is a method to create tooling for plastic injection molding without the expense or lead time required for the final hard steel tooling.
