Plastic injection moulding has been comprehensively used for over 50 years and it is still one of the most popular manufacturing processes where both thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers can be used, not to mention the ability to use other materials such as glasses, metals and elastomers. At Amtek Plastics UK Ltd we promote thermoplastic injection moulding where possible so any waste plastic created can be melted down to be recycled and reused.
Injection moulding is fantastic for mass production and part manufacturing, it replicates the same part continuously and identically thousands of times in a row. It is very easy to scale production if you experience a higher demand for your product.
The plastic injection moulding process is very simple. Melted plastic is pushed into the cavity of a closed mould which is then cooled and ejected to create a part.
Below is a more detailed look at the moulding process:
This is a very rapid and reliable process so repeat injection moulded products can be created to the same finish and quality every time. This manufacturing process is used to produce products such as bottle caps, casings, covers, syringes, bins, car body parts and most plastic products that you may see and use in everyday life.
Plastic injection moulding has many advantages, such as:
There is, however, one main disadvantage with plastic injection moulding, the mould tooling. The creation of the specific mould can be very costly especially for complex plastic products and larger moulds. The cost also depends on the quality of the mould required. Therefore, to make your business more profitable when using plastic injection moulding, large batch numbers are best to ensure the mould tooling costs are lower.
