What Is an Injection Molded Plastic?
Injection molded plastic refers to a plastic that has been injected into a mold under high pressure and then cooled to form a specific shape.
The heated plastic material is melted in a specialized injection molding machine and then injected into a mold under high pressure. Subsequently, the material cools and solidifies inside the mold, resulting in the formation of the product. Injection molding allows for the production of various shapes and designs because the product’s shape can be freely modified based on the mold design.
Injection molding enables the production of products with high precision in terms of shape and dimensions due to the high-pressure injection of the material. Moreover, the automated process allows for the manufacture of numerous products in short manufacturing cycle times. Additionally, the use of recyclable materials is possible, making it an environmentally friendly manufacturing method.
