Injection molding is a manufacturing process for
producing
parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting
plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed,
and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the
configuration of the mold cavity.After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer
or an engineer, molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker)
from metal, usually either steel or aluminum, and
precision-machined to form the features of the desired part.
Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of
parts, from the smallest component to entire body panels of
cars.
