FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which molten material, typically plastic, is injected into a mold cavity. Once the material cools and solidifies, the mold opens, and the finished product is ejected.

While plastics are the most common materials, other materials like metals, rubber, and some composites can also be used in injection molding.

Injection molding is versatile and can be used to produce a wide range of products, including automotive parts, consumer goods, medical devices, packaging, and more.

The process involves melting plastic pellets, injecting the molten material into a mold, cooling it to solidify, and then ejecting the finished product. This cycle is repeated for mass production.

A mold is a tool consisting of two halves that define the shape of the finished product. It is designed to allow the molten material to cool and solidify into the desired form.

Single-cavity molds produce one part per cycle, while multi-cavity molds produce multiple identical parts simultaneously, increasing production efficiency.

Advantages include high production rates, consistency in part quality, design flexibility, and the ability to use a variety of materials.

Challenges may include achieving uniform filling in multi-cavity molds, addressing issues like warping or sink marks, and ensuring proper cooling for complex part geometries.

Yes, injection molding can be used for prototyping, but it’s more commonly associated with mass production. Prototyping may involve lower-volume processes like 3D printing or CNC machining.

Tolerances depend on various factors, including material, part geometry, and mold design. In general, injection molding can achieve tight tolerances, often within a few thousandths of an inch.

While it generates waste material (e.g., runners and sprues), injection molding is considered relatively efficient and can be environmentally friendly when using recyclable materials and optimizing production processes.
