2. What is Injection Molding
Injection molding is a manufacturing process for
producing parts by injecting material into a mold.
3. Advantages of
Injection Molding
Fast Production – You can produce a large amount
of products per hour.
Design Flexibility – Allows companies to produce
complex products in different shapes and designs.
High Production – Creates a high production output
while having low labor cost
4. Advantages of
Injection Molding
Little Waste – Any unused molding plastic or scrap
can be reground and can be recycled for future use.
Limitless Options – Injection molded parts are
flexible in all aspects, including colors and materials
used.
5. Disadvantages of Injection
Molding
Cost of Machines – For a newer machine, you could
be spending between $375,000 and $400,000.
Tight Schedule – Designs must be created before
any process begins which could put production
behind schedule.
6. Disadvantages of Injection
Molding
Limitations – There are some limitations to what
types of designs can be made with injection molding.
Unexpected Costs – There can be unexpected costs
that you will need to budget for in advance.
