Thermoplastic injection molding

technical partssmall series

In injection molding the plastic filled the form with granules or powder in an injection molding machine, which liquefies the plastic (plasticized). Then it’s injected under high pressure into a mold in which the material solidifies again by cooling or a crosslinking reaction. Subsequently, the finished part can be removed from the mold. Mostly thermoplastics are used, but also thermosets and elastomers are possible. The delivery time for an injection mold is usually about 6-10 weeks (shortening depending on the product possible). Parts in the weight range from 0.001 grams up to 100 kg directly usable moldings in large quantities at low cost almost free choice of shape and surface (e.g., smooth surfaces, patterns) Production of small series are possible
