Injection Moulding Process Overview
Injection moulding is a cyclical, high-precision manufacturing method ideal for producing large volumes of identical plastic components.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Tooling: A custom mould is created based on your design specifications.
2. Material Melt & Injection: Thermoplastic resin is heated until molten and injected under pressure into the mould cavity.
3. Cooling & Ejection: Once solidified, the part is removed and the cycle repeats – delivering fast, repeatable production.
This method ensures:
- High dimensional accuracy.
- Excellent surface finishes.
- Material flexibility (ABS, PA, PP, and more).
- Economies of scale from prototype to full production.
