Injection molding is a manufacturing process that utilizes a metal mold, often referred to as tooling, to shape molten plastic resins. The mold, which can also be called tooling, undergoes machining to create a core and cavity in the negative shape of the part.
These molds are typically made from metal (such as steel or aluminum) and are custom-designed to create the specific shape and features of the desired plastic part. Tooling is crucial in injection molding as it defines the quality, precision, and efficiency of the manufacturing process.
During production, the injection molding machine holds the mold closed while molten plastic is injected into it at high pressure. Once the plastic has cooled and solidified, the mold opens, and the part is ejected. This cycle repeats until the desired quantity of parts is produced. Injection molding is highly cost effective for manufacturing complex plastic parts in large volumes.
Producing high quality parts requires high quality tooling. Younger Mould employs premium components and materials for all injection molding tooling, ensuring that every injection molding project meets rigorous quality standards and customer requirements.
