Injection Molding

 

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a  mold. Injection molding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including plastics, metals (for which the process is called die-casting), glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed (Using a helical shaped screw), and injected (Forced) into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity.
