The injection molding process is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic parts in the world. It is so popular because of its ability to create a wide variety of items of differing sizes, shapes, and complexities. Most injection molding machines use the same process – thermoplastic conversion – to turn the plastic stock into the final molded parts, using these five basic steps: [Read more…] about Five Steps of the Thermoplastic Conversion Process
Most Common Thermoplastics Used In Injection Molding
Thermoplastic injection molding is the most common way to manufacture parts. Thermoplastics are polymers that can be repeatedly molten or softened by heating and solidified by cooling—as a physical change rather than a chemical change that takes place during the creation of thermoset materials. It is important to distinguish what type of thermoplastic should be used for the type of product you want us to help you create. Below are the most common thermoplastics used in injection molding.
