Plastic Injection Molding (PIM) is a popular manufacturing process used to produce large volumes of plastic parts. The process involves melting plastic and injecting it into a mold where it cools and hardens into the desired shape. This method is ideal for producing high- quality, consistent, and durable plastic products on a large scale.
Why Plastic Injection Molding is So Popular?
PIM is a preferred choice for manufacturing because it provides:
Precision and Consistency – Perfect for parts that require exact dimensions and uniform quality.
Scalability – Ideal for producing large volumes quickly and efficiently.
Cost-Effectiveness – Lowers costs per unit when producing large quantities.
Durability – Parts created through PIM are strong and resistant to wear.
How Does Plastic Injection Molding Work?
The Five steps to a perfect piece:
DESIGN THE PART
Create a 3D model of the part you want to make.
Design the mold
CAD: Import model, position mold insert to intersect plastic inlet.
Make the mold
Molds are precision-machined by tool makers to create desired parts.
Injection molding
Liquid plastic is injected into the precisely machined mold.
