Are you in the final stages of designing your product? If so, it’s time to think about manufacturing. If you’re looking to produce your product in a large volume, then injection moulding can be the way to go.
In this blog, we’re giving you a comprehensive guide to injection moulding, so that you can know what to expect for your product.
What is injection moulding?
Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts in a large volume. It’s typically used in mass production, where the same part is being made repeatedly. It’s also the most popular method of producing large quantities of plastic parts.
Which products does it suit?
Plastic injection moulding is a process that is used in numerous applications. It can be used to create products for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, transport, hospitality, health, and more.
For example, some of the products created through this process include vehicle parts, aircraft parts, plastic cutlery, protective packaging for products, egg cartons, plastic toys and furniture.
Why should you use injection moulding?
The main advantage of injection moulding is the ability to mass produce your product to the same quality each time.
There are many other advantages, including:
- Low price per unit
- Faster cycle time than 3D printing
- Low labour cost
- Easily repeatable process
- Produces consistent and reliable parts
- Suitable for high volume production
Am I ready for injection moulding?
Before deciding to use injection moulding for your product, it’s important to think about whether your design is ready. If you’re going to produce your part in high volumes, it needs to be correctly designed or you will run into extra costs for post-production labour such as trimming.
For this reason, it is important to spend the correct time and effort in the design, prototyping and tooling stages. Making sure you iron out all the kinks as early as possible to avoid costly modification later.
