129. The applications of injection molds

Now more and more people care the injection molds. And it becomes very popular in our life. So we introduce some things about the applications of injection molds.

An injection mold is used in production tooling process in order to produce plastic molds that come from plastic materials. The process is better known as injection molding. It starts when the thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic materials are fed into a barrel usually heated and mixed then forced into a cavity where it is left to cool. Cooling the materials will lead to hardening in order to follow the shape of the mold cavity.

With the progression of manufacturing industries, other products have been created out of the mold. The common applications go to medical, aerospace and consumer industries as well as packaging, plumbing and construction.

Specific applications of the process extend to the production of bottle caps, containers, milk cartons, automotive dashboards and other products that may be created out of plastic. The process is considered very crucial in the world of part manufacturing. While plastic molding may require high costs of investment, it is favored because of the lower labor costs and minimal losses on scrap.
