96. What is rapid injection molding?

Now rapid molding is very important for our life. But most people only know few things ahout it. So we introduce some things, if you want to know, you can read the article.

Plastic molding has been known as the most popular way of processing and creating plastic. There are three types of molding machines that is commonly used by most of the industrial companies nowadays. These are the electric, hydraulic, and the hybrid but there are two main processes that can be use in processing plastic these are the regular way and the rapid injection molding.

The rapid injection molding is cost-effective and of course fast that will allow you to fix any problem encountered if the product design is not right. It uses an aluminum mold, which is unlike the hardened tool use in the regular process. The molds use in rapid injection molding consists of the A-side, which is also known as the cavity side, and the B-side, also known as the core side.

When choosing a design that will be used in the rapid process, make sure to avoid adding small features into the steep walls. Similar to the regular process, it is important that the mold has enough thickness that is equally distributed to avoid any damage into the product.
