What is Injection Moulding?

• Injection Moulding is a manufacturing process
  where parts are produced in large volume.
• This is done by injecting material in liquid form
  into a mould and is most commonly performed with
  thermoplastic polymers.
• Mostly used in mass-production processes where
  the same part is produced number of times in
  succession.

Why is Injection Moulding Performed?

• Injection Moulding can be fully automated and
  allows high rates of production.
• It helps plastic moulding companies to create
  more complicated products in various shapes and
  sizes.
• It also helps to save resources for plastic
  moulding companies so that the company will
  recycle the material or unused plastic scraps.
• Relatively Low Labor Cost

Alternatives to Injection Moulding
6
Urethane Casting

• It uses 3D printer master pattern and silicone
  molds to deliver high quality and short-run parts.

7
3D Printing

• This is suitable for very low volume production
  runs. It doesnt need upfront costs and provides
  short lead times.

8
Thermoforming

• Mold of the product is created over which a thin
  sheet of plastic is heated and formed using
  pressure, vacuum and mechanical force.

9
CNC Machining

• This is one of the most versatile manufacturing
  process and has high tolerance, fast turnaround.
