Plastic injection molding is the process for manufacturing small, medium, and large plastic parts. It’s suitable for mass production of products with complex shapes, and is used to produce many everyday plastic parts, including car parts, electronic enclosures, and kitchen appliances.

Plastic Injection Molding Has Low Labor Costs. Labor costs for injection molding operations are relatively low compared to other types of molding processes. The capacity to produce the parts at a very high level with a high output rate helps reduce manufacturing costs through its efficiency and effectiveness.

• Mold bases 
• Mold cavity
• Gating system
• Cooling systems
• Ejection systems

• Injection mold,
• Blow mold,
• Casting mold,
• Pressing mold, and so on.

Injection molding various construction and building components is becoming increasingly popular due to the innate versatility of plastic injection molding. There are many reasons why this method is suitable for use in construction: 

• Very high stability of the materials used
• Exceptional durability during elemental exposure
• Better cost-effectiveness in comparison to wood and metal
• Very good energy efficiency
• Low weight of parts and components
• A wide selection of finishes and materials

Some of the most commonly-produced elements in the construction industry include small and large accessories, fasteners, and various hand tools.

Parts used in the food and beverage field must follow stringent health and safety rules and regulations, such as the GMA-safe program and FDA certification. All this is necessary to ensure the wellbeing of individuals using such products. To abide by the aforementioned standards, molded parts have to be BPA-free and completely non-toxic. 

That’s why it’s important to choose the right resins and materials to produce those elements that will be used in this industry. The most commonly-manufactured parts for this industry are: 

• Various components for processing equipment
• Containers for beverage and food
• Parts for filtering and dispensing beverages
• Conveyor system components
• Overcaps

Similarly to the food and beverage industry, plastic parts made for the medical and pharmaceutical field have to follow even more stringent guidelines. In order to meet those standards, manufacturers must use FDA or medical-grade resins and manufacture their components according to ISO certification. 

What’s more, components for the medical field require various chemical properties, such as high tensile strength, resistance to very high temperatures, and others. Plastic injection molding is suitable for this field of applications because the parts have: 

• Low weight
• High design flexibility
• Reduced lead time and costs
• Low patient risk

The most common parts produced with this process include testing kits, surgical preparation products, dental X-ray components, and many more. 

Due to its innate design flexibility, but also high durability and longevity, plastic injection molded parts are very frequently used in the automotive industry. This process makes it easy to design and create various items you find in and on your car every day, such as mirror housings, cup holders, bumpers, but also entire dashboards.

Injection moulding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging, bottle caps, automotive parts and components, toys, pocket combs, some musical instruments (and parts of them), one-piece chairs and small tables, storage containers, mechanical parts (including gears), and most other plastic products.
