Frequently Asked Questions F.A.Q
1. High-volume production: Plastic injection moulding allows for high-volume production with consistent quality and accuracy.
2. Fast production cycle: The process can produce parts quickly, with cycle times ranging from a few seconds to several minutes.
3. Low labor costs: Automated machines perform most of the work, reducing labor costs.
4. High precision: Plastic injection moulding can produce parts with high precision and accuracy.
5. Wide range of materials:
Various types of plastic materials can be used, including ABS, PVC, PET, and more
Plastic injection moulding is a manufacturing process where molten plastic is injected into a mould to create a specific shape and design.
The plastic is melted and then forced into the mould under high pressure, where it cools and solidifies to form a final product.
Conventional injection moulding: The most common process, where molten plastic is injected into a mould using a reciprocating screw.
Gas-assisted injection moulding (GAIM): A variation that uses compressed gas to help eject the part from the mould.
Core-back injection moulding: A process that injects plastic into the core of a mould, allowing for more complex geometries.
Insert molding: A process that inserts metal or other materials into the mould before injecting plastic.
a. Consumer products: Toys, packaging, appliances, and household items.
b. Automotive parts: Dashboard components, exterior trim, and interior parts.
c. Medical devices: Medical implants, syringes, and diagnostic equipment.
d. Aerospace components: Aircraft components, satellite parts, and spacecraft components.
