Injection molding is one of the most versatile and important manufacturing processes, capable of mass-producing complicated plastic parts in a variety of complex shapes with high dimensional precision.
The injection molding process
The injection molding process stages starts with the feeding of a polymer through hopper to
barrel which is then heated with the sufficient temperature to make it flow , then the molten
plastic which was melted will be injected under high pressure into the mold the process is
commonly known as Injection, After injection pressure will be applied to both platens of the
injection molding machine(moving and fixed platens) in order to hold the mold tool together
afterwards the product is set to cool which helps it in the solidification process. After the product
gets its shape the two platens will move away from each other in order to separate the mold tool
which is known as mold opening and finally the molded product is ejected or removed from the
mold. And the process will repeat itself.
