WHAT IS INJECTION MOLDING AND HOW THE PROCESS OCCURS

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that allows parts to be molded in large quantities and occurs by injecting molten materials into a mold. Usually, it takes place when it is needed to process thousands of identical parts. Materials for injection molding include metals, glass, elastomers, and confectionery, although it is most commonly used with thermoplastic polymers.

How does injection molding work? The first step when we speak of injection molding is to create the mold itself. Idea Stampi co-design the mold you need along with you so we can discuss the aesthetic aspect and the technical details. Once the mold has been created, a molten polymer (thermoplastic material) is injected into a mold under high pressure. Heating bands melt the material in the barrel, and, after its solidification, the mold can be opened and the new product component can be extracted. Different materials can be combined into one part in a type of injection molding called a two-shot mold. Molds can be single-cavity or multiple-cavity.

In general, the injection molding process requires careful design, depending on the shape and characteristics of the part, the mold materials, and the sector of use: automotive, medical, electrical or industrial.
