injection molding
Injection molding is a manufacturing process used to create plastic parts by injecting molten plastic into a mold. The process starts with heating plastic pellets until they melt, then forcing the liquid plastic into a shaped cavity—called a mold—under high pressure. Once the plastic cools and hardens, the mold is opened, and the finished part is removed. This method is efficient for producing large quantities of identical items, such as toys, containers, and automotive components, making it a popular choice in various industries for its speed and precision.

Injection molding is a manufacturing process used to create plastic parts by injecting molten plastic into a mold. First, plastic pellets are heated until they melt, then the liquid plastic is injected into a shaped cavity (the mold) where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. This method is efficient for producing large quantities of identical items, such as toy parts, containers, and automotive components. The process allows for intricate designs and strong materials, making it a popular choice in various industries. After cooling, the molded parts are removed and can be finished or assembled as needed.
