Injection Molding

Injection Molding ProcessPlastic injection molding is a manufacturing process in which a thermoplastic resin is forced into a mold cavity under pressure. The mold cavity is constructed as the inverse geometry of the part to be produced. The molten resin freezes in the mold cavity following injection and cooling cycles, and a solid part is ejected from the mold.

Typical Medical Applications: Medical Devices
