0 a process used for making plastic objects, in which melted plastic is forced into metal shapes and left until it is hard
Efficiency is assumed to be a constant 99.5% for all pieces of injection molding equipment.
The cost to operate injection molding equipment depends on the manufacturing cycle time and the size of the equipment.
Appropriate modifications must be made to cer tain parameters to account for the differences between the plastic injection molding process and the metal stamping process.
After testing the part, corresponding quantities are made using injection molding.
Fabrication via injection molding is extremely rapid and highly economical.
Injection molding is accurate, easy to reproduce (for manufacturing large quantities), has a low cost of production, and allows for simple technology transfer.
Injection molding must ensure that moldings are stress-free.
The most common method of production is to extrude the material into the desired shape, though injection molding is also used.
