The 5 most common injection molding defects and how to fix them
During the injection molding process, molten plastic is injected into a mold under high pressure. The material flows through the mold, fills the cavity, and solidifies within seconds. But in that short time, many things can go wrong. In this blog, we discuss the five most common injection molding defects and how to effectively resolve […]
Sustainability and recycling in injection molding
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the plastics industry. In injection molding, there are three key focus areas: recycling, low energy consumption, and waste reduction. In this blog, we discuss how these pillars contribute to environmentally friendly and cost-efficient production. An example of plastic material during the recycling process. An example of plastic material during […]
Assembly after injection molding: how a plastic product truly becomes a finished product
When a product is ejected from the injection molding machine, the production process is often far from over. Many plastic products consist of multiple parts that must be joined together after injection molding. In this blog, we discuss the various assembly methods, their pros and cons, and when to choose which method. Inside view of […]
Is injection molding expensive? An overview of costs and investments
Injection molding is often seen as a costly production process, but in reality, the price depends heavily on various factors. Both fixed investments, such as the mold, and variable costs for material, assembly, and shipping together determine the final cost per product. In this blog, we clearly explain how these costs are structured and how […]
How does an injection molding machine work?
An injection molding machine functions as a large press that holds a mold closed while liquid plastic is injected into the cavity. Thanks to this precision, complex and uniform plastic products can be produced in high volumes. In this blog, we explain how an injection molding machine works, what the most important parts are, and […]
