![]() Thermoplastic resin pellets for injection moulding Injection moulding is the most common modern method of manufacturing plastic parts it is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object. ![]() Injection moulding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging, bottle caps, automotive parts and components, toys, pocket combs, some musical instruments (and parts of them), one-piece chairs and small tables, storage containers, mechanical parts (including gears), and most other plastic products available today. The versatility of injection moulding is facilitated by this breadth of design considerations and possibilities. Parts to be injection-moulded must be very carefully designed to facilitate the moulding process the material used for the part, the desired shape and features of the part, the material of the mould, and the properties of the moulding machine must all be taken into account. Injection moulding uses a special-purpose machine that has three parts: the injection unit, the mould and the clamp. Advances in 3D printing technology, using photopolymers that do not melt during the injection moulding of some lower-temperature thermoplastics, can be used for some simple injection moulds. Injection moulding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest components to entire body panels of cars. ![]() : 240 After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, moulds are made by a mould-maker (or toolmaker) from metal, usually either steel or aluminium, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed (using a helical screw), and injected into a mould cavity, where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including metals (for which the process is called die-casting), glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. spelling: injection molding) is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould, or mold. ![]()
