Why plastic injection molding?

Top 10 benefits of injection molding

1. Complex 3D parts can be produced.
2. Reliable processes for continuous production.
3. Repeatable processes for dimensional accuracy from part to part.
4. Fast processes enabling production of millions of parts in a year.
5. A wide range of plastic materials.
6. Virtually any color can be implemented.
7. Inserts and overmolding can be used to integrate everything into one solid piece.
8. Parts can be made to be optically clear or textured for increased grip.
9. Regrinding excess plastic produces pellets that can be used again to make parts.
10. Lower plastic waste than CNC machining of plastic parts.

Wide range of materials

Acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), high impact styrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon/polyamide, rubber, teflon, and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
More materials (including custom/engineering) can be made at various plastic suppliers.

List of plastic technologies

There are many plastic technologies available in the industry. Each one has their strengths and weaknesses, and the best option for you depends on the product's form. Here is a list of the most common plastic technologies: extrusion, thermoforming, calendering, vacuum forming, blow molding, film blowing, rotation molding, compression molding, casting, and injection molding!
