A manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold.
Injection molding is a precise technique used in manufacturing to create complex-shaped parts by injecting molten polymers or thermoplastics into a custom mold, where the material cools and solidifies. This process is vital in the mass production of uniform components, offering high dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Its applications include the production of automotive components, consumer electronics housings, and medical device casings.
