What is Plastic Injection Molding?
Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process where molten plastic is injected into a mold cavity to form a specific shape, which is then cooled and solidified into a final part. It is a popular technique for producing high volumes of complex plastic parts, ranging from small intricate components to large automotive parts.
Furthermore, proper mold design and careful control of molding conditions are crucial for producing high-quality parts. Explore our mold & tooling service and quality management.
