What Is Plastic Injection Moulding?
Injection moulding is a manufacturing process used to create high-volume, repeatable plastic parts with precision and efficiency.
Here’s how it works
- A custom mould is CNC-machined in aluminium or steel to the exact shape of your component.
- Thermoplastic material-such as ABS, nylon, or polypropylene-is melted and injected into the mould under pressure.
- The part cools and solidifies, capturing every detail of the mould cavity.
- Once solid, the mould opens and the finished part is ejected. The cycle repeats in seconds.
This process can produce thousands of parts per hour with minimal variation, making it ideal for everything from aircraft components and instrumentation panels to custom packaging and consumer products.
