Reasons You Should Use Plastic Injection Molding in Your Manufacturing Project

Plastic injection molding is a process that injects liquid plastic into molds to create parts. Plastic injection molding is the most common and preferred manufacturing process to produce plastic parts.

Superior Quality

Plastic injection molding produces high-quality, uniform, detailed parts. The parts have a smooth finished surface and are accurate and consistent in size and shape. 

Fast Turnaround Time

A plastic manufacturing company can meet tight deadlines, and the manufacturing process is fast, which enables you to get your products to market faster. This quick turnaround reduces the need for extensive inventory, and the high output rate is cost-effective.

Versatility

The plastic injection molding process is versatile and produces products ranging from small, intricate parts to large, complex parts. There are endless combinations of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, making plastic injection molding an excellent choice for businesses.

Wide Range of Materials

There is a vast range of materials and colors available with plastic injection molding. Thermoplastic material is softer and hardens when cooled and can be remolded and heated. Thermoset materials are permanently set and cannot be remolded. There are several common thermoplastic materials.  

• Polypropylene
• Polyethylene
• Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Custom Options

Plastic injection molding allows businesses to create custom parts suited for their specific needs. This process can produce highly detailed, complex, and intricate parts in various shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes. Parts can be made in high volume with great precision.

Cost-Effective

Plastic injection molding can produce parts at a high output rate, an affordable option. Plastic injection molding can quickly produce large quantities of detailed plastic parts, making it an excellent choice for businesses needing products in a short period. This fast high production rate is efficient and cost-effective. Shipping costs are reduced since plastic parts weigh less than metal parts.

Sustainability

Plastic injection molding is environmentally friendly. It produces low waste since only the amount of plastic required is put into the mold. There is less energy consumption, and raw materials can be reused.
