Overview

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold. Injection molding can be performed with a host of materials mainly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.

Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed and injected into a mould cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity.

After a product is designed, usually by an industrial designer or an engineer, molds are made by a mold-maker from metal, usually either steel or aluminum and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part.

OUR VALUABLE

Clients

Think3D has been a great partner for us in supplying COVID-19 test cartridges on-time despite the pandemic challenges. When we came up with a new requirement needing a workforce of more than 25 people, think3D took up the challenge and arranged the workforce within 2 days. I highly recommend think3D for any manufacturing needs.
 

Sanket Srivatsav
Production In-Charge, Molbio

As a professor doing research on new materials, I needed a strong industry partner to assist us. think3D perfectly fit that bill. think3D team is highly knowledgeable on all manufacturing technologies and the team is very prompt in responding to all our requests. My research has been very successful, thanks to think3D team.


Dr. Karthik Chetan V
Asst. Professor, BITS Pilani

We found issue with one part at the time of assembly and needed a quick replacement. think3D team has quickly responded to our request, redesigned the part and printed it using metal 3D Printing and delivered in 3 days time. The part came out really well and the design was better than that of the actual one.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed and injected into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity.
Injection molding gives a very good quality finish. Using injection molding ensures parts manufactured hardly require any work after the production. This is because the parts have more or less a finished appearance after they are ejected from the injection molds. Today, plastic injection molding is an environment-friendly process.

Rotational molding, rotomolding, rotomold or rotocasting is a production process to form hollow parts of limitless size. This is a cost-effective method to produce large plastic parts. Resins are added into a mold that’s heated and rotated slowly, both vertically and horizontally.

A back pressure is the pressure in an injection molding machine that is exerted by the material when the material is injected into the mold.

Different plastics used for injection molding are:

  • ABS
  • Polypropylene
  • Polyoxymethylene  (POM)
  • Polycarbonate
  • Polycarbonate / ABS
  • PVC
  • Nylon
  • Nylon 32% Glass Fiber
  • Acrylic (PMMA)
  • Styrene
  • Polyetherimide (PEI)
A core is a device used in casting and molding processes to produce internal cavities and re entrant angles. The cycle begins when the mold closes, followed by the injection of the polymer into the mold cavity.
Injection molds have to undergo lot of clamping force, stress and undue pressure due to continuous molding process and frequent temperature changes. To withstand such forces, injection molds are made of high strength metals, namely tool steel, aluminum, stainless steel and so on.
The whole injection molding process usual lasts from 2 seconds to 2 minutes. There are four stages in the cycle. These stages are the clamping, injection, cooling and ejection stages.
