Plastic components are used in many industries. From automotive to home appliances and medical devices, components in a variety of plastics are used to protect, enhance and build a huge range of products.
Despite its ability to produce high numbers of plastic components quickly, the injection molding process must be tightly controlled to maintain the quality of the final parts.
The Process
- Selecting the right thermoplastic and mold
- Feeding and melting the thermoplastic
- Injecting the plastic into the mold
