Injection molding is the top choice for mass-producing plastic parts. It heats and injects pelletized material into a pre-made mold, creating the desired shape as it cools and hardens. This efficient process works with various materials, including thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, making it cost-effective for large-scale production.
What is injection molding?
Injection mold-making is the go-to method for mass-producing plastic parts. The process is streamlined to maximize cost savings and part production. First, pelletized material is placed into a heated container to turn molten. It is mixed with a helical screw to maintain a smooth consistency and to speed up the heating process. The liquid is then pumped – or injected – with a plunger into a premade mold, which shapes the material into the desired form as it cools and hardens. Sometimes another component is inserted into the mold cavity as the material cools in a process called insert molding. This adds another level of complexity to the mold. Most often, injection molding is done with thermoplastics, a plastic made of polymer resins designed to soften or liquify when heated. Less commonly, thermosetting polymers, metals, and glasses are used.
While the tolerances of the finished product may not call for CNC machining, the molds themselves do, especially those with complex inner geometries and contours. CNC machining is the leading production style for mold making. Molds are most commonly machined out of tool steel and stainless steel, but aluminum is also used occasionally. Aluminum doesn’t hold up to the wear and tear of injection molding as well as steel, but it is an inexpensive alternative for small batches of injection molded parts.
