Understanding Injection Molding

The Process

Plastic injection molding involves feeding granular plastic from a hopper into a heated chamber where it melts. This molten resin is then forced under high pressure through a nozzle into the relatively cold **mold cavity** (metal die), where it solidifies almost immediately to form the final part.

This process is the most common way to produce large volumes of finished plastic parts, from simple trinkets to complex automotive components. Cycle times range from seconds to minutes, depending on the part's complexity and size.
