Plastic injection molding
Manufacturing of plastic parts
At MK Plastteknik we offer plastic injection molding to produce parts with high accuracy and repeatability. This method is suitable for large-scale manufacturing with precision and used in various industries.Thanks to the high precision, the method is used to produce everything from small details to large, robust components.
Material preparation
Plastic granules are melted into a liquid mass.
Injection
The molten plastic is injected into a mold with the desired design.
Cooling
The mold is cooled so that the plastic solidifies and retains its shape.
Ejection from the mold
The plastic part is removed from the mold for possible further processing.
How injection molding works
Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which molten plastic is injected into a mold to create detailed plastic components. The process begins with the plastic material being melted and then injected into a mold under high pressure. After the plastic has solidified, the mold is opened and the finished component is removed.
This method is advantageous in high-volume production because the same mold can be reused. In addition, plastic injection molding allows the use of different polymers and additives to optimize properties such as durability, heat resistance, and flexibility.
Material
In plastic injection molding, thermoplastics are often used, as they can be melted and reshaped several times without losing their properties. Some common materials are:
- Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)
- ABS and polycarbonate (PC)
- Polyamide (PA) and PEEK
Advantages of injection molding
Injection molding is a manufacturing method that combines high precision with repeatability, making it suitable for the production of plastic parts with complex geometries. Since each part is identical, the process enables efficient series production.
In addition, the method becomes cost-effective for larger volumes, as the tooling cost is distributed over many units and lowers the unit price.
Areas of use
Injection molded plastic parts are used in several sectors, including:
- Automotive industry: Manufacture of interior and exterior components.
- Electronics: Production of housings and components.
- Medical Technology: Creation of precision parts for medical equipment.
