What Is Injection Moulding?
Injection moulding is a manufacturing
process for producing parts by injecting
material into a mould. Injection moulding can
be performed with a host of materials mainly
including metals, glasses, elastomers,
confections, and most commonly thermoplastic
and thermosetting polymers. Material for the
part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and
forced into a mould cavity, where it cools and
hardens to the configuration of the cavity.

Injection Moulding Machine
Process
Material granules are fed into hopper then
melted down in barrel which is surrounded by
the heaters.
Injection Moulding Machine
Process
Melted material is injected into mould cavity
and mold is held under pressure until the
material cools and hardens.
Injection Moulding Machine
Process
Once the material hardens, the mold is opened
and the component is ejected by runner plate.

Mould
Moulds are the common terms used to describe
the tool used to produce components in moulding.
Moulds are constructed from hardened steel, pre-
hardened steel, aluminium, beryllium-copper alloy.
In general, steel moulds cost more to construct,
but their longer lifespan will offset the higher initial
cost over a higher number of parts made before
wearing out.
The moulds can be manufactured either by CNC
machining or by using electrical discharge
machining processes.
Mould Design
The mould consists of two primary
components, the injection mould (A plate) and
the ejector mould (B plate).
