Plastic injection molding is resource-conscious, and more ecologically friendly than other plastic manufacturing processes. With increasing focus on sustainability these days, it’s common for product developers to choose the processes that minimize waste and benefit the environment.
Plastic injection molding is not only effective, but also a highly efficient process, which means reduced plastic waste. That’s because only as much plastic as necessary is used to create parts, and all excess plastic is again ground up and recycled for reuse. Remember the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, and Recyle? Plastic injection molding does all three.
Plastic injection molding allows for the creation of durable plastic parts. Another cool benefit of the plastic injection molding technique is that fillers can be easily added to components being manufactured, reducing density of processed plastic while adding strength to the finished parts. It is a ideal process for products or industries where parts are needed to be very strong. However, there are more reasons this miraculous process has support.
Plastic Parts Can Be Made of More Than One Type of Plastic
The latest injection molding facilities can easily process two or more different plastics at the same time. So you can have a harder plastic mixed with a softer plastic for a truly custom plastic part. Another advantage of plastic injection molding process to manufacture custom plastic parts is the ability of machine to use various types of plastics simultaneously.This custom plastic blending can be done easily with the help of co-injection molding, which easily takes away worry about using any specific kind of plastic. During the injection molding process, it is very easy to use various types of fillers in the molds. These fillers help in reducing the density of plastic while it is being molded in the machine and also help in adding much greater strength to the components once they’ve been molded.
With a plastic injection molding process you get custom plastic parts that need minimal end finishing. That’s because all parts that come out of the mold are pretty much close to the finished appearance. A bit of trimming, a bit of wiping and the part is ready to go into the box. Another reason a lot of companies want plastic parts made this way is that the process is automated. A major part of the process is conducted by robotics and machines that can be controlled by an individual operator. Automation definitely helps in reducing manufacturing costs, overheads are considerably reduced. Aside from that, with reduced need for labor force the overall production cost is also reduced and this kind of cost savings can be easily passed on to the customer.
So it's fast. You can customize your plastic parts. And it allows you to mass produce plastic parts. All very good reasons to get plastic injection molding.
