Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which materials such as plastic or metal are injected through an injection port while heated.
Injection molding is a common manufacturing process widely used in the production of industrial and consumer goods.
The injection molding process begins by feeding the injection molding machine with plastic or metal as the raw material. The supplied material is stored in a hopper. The material is conveyed by a device called a screw or plunger into the hot cylinder below, where it is heated and melted. The molten material is ejected from the injection port and injected into the mold.
Inside the mold, the material cools and solidifies to obtain the desired shape. After the cooling time has elapsed, the mold is opened and the formed part is removed. This process is very fast and suitable for mass production.
Injection molding can produce products in a wide range of shapes and sizes. It is used in a variety of industries, including automotive parts, household products, electronics, and medical devices. Injection molding has become a very important technology in the manufacturing industry because of its high precision and consistency, and its ability to mass produce products at relatively low cost.
