Benefits of Plastic Injection Molding
The process of plastic injection molding involves forcing molten plastic into a mold where the plastic then cools and hardens into a predetermined shape. The mold usually remains relatively cold compared to the plastic, allowing the plastic to set quickly and to be removed without a problem.
The plastic injection molding process allows for the creation of large quantities of plastic parts at a low cost and with terrific turnaround time. Other benefits of plastic injection molding include:
- Flexibility. A plastic injection mold can produce a wide variety of complex or simple plastic parts.
- Versatility. Plastic injection molds makes it possible to create many parts at the same time using the same mold.
- Automation. The use of specialized plastic injection mold equipment reduces your labor costs while increasing your production rates.
- Recyclable. Unused plastic can simply be melted and reused for future molds, creating practically no waste.
The Drawbacks to Injection Molded Plastic
The only downside of the injection molding process is the expense of the initial purchase of the plastic injection molding equipment, as well as maintenance costs. For that reason, many manufacturers outsource their plastic parts production to plastic injection molding companies.
A plastic injection molding company can take over as little or as much of the product assembly process as you need. Comprehensive-service companies like Streamline Plastics can take your product all the way from the concept and design phase through to production, assembly, packaging and shipping.
