Plastic injection molding is the preferred process for manufacturing plastic parts. Injection molds are used to create many things such as electronic housings, containers, bottle caps, automotive interiors, pocket combs, and most other plastic products available today. Plastic injection molds are ideal for producing high volumes of plastic parts, due to the ability of making multi-cavity injection molded parts, where multiple parts are made with one cycle. Some advantages of injection molding are high tolerances, repeatability, a wide range of material selection, low labor cost, minimal scrap losses, and little need to finish parts after molding. Some disadvantages of this process include an expensive tooling investment and the need to prototype, as some custom complex parts may encounter problems during the injection molding process such as warp or surface defects. Therefore, injection molded parts must be designed with careful molding consideration.
