The Injection Moulding Process
Process
The basic principal of injection moulding is to fill a metal mould or ‘tool’ with molten plastic. The molten plastic, when injected into the mould tool under pressure, will take the shape of the mould cavity. The plastic cools, becomes solid and remains in the shape of the mould cavity. It is then ejected from the mould ready for packaging.
