The Process of Plastic Injection Molding and Its Application in Manufacturing

1. Design: The initial step is to design the desired product in a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. This design will determine the shape, size, and functionality of the final product.

2. Tooling: Once the design is finalized, it is sent to a mold maker who creates a mold using steel or aluminum. The mold has two halves, each with a matching shape of the desired product.

3. Injection Molding Machine: The plastic material is fed into the injection molding machine. The machine uses heat to melt the plastic into a liquid state.
