Plastic injection molding

The plastics industry is one of the fastest growing major industries in the world. Every year there is an increase in the amount of plastics used in all types of products. A good example of this is the percent of plastics used in today's automobiles compared to 15 years ago.

The plastics injection molding field, at large, is volume oriented. Vendor sources, particularly mold makers and custom molders, are geared to long tool life and high volume production. Plastics equipment manufacturers, likewise, have concentrated almost exclusively on fully automatic, sophisticated injection molding machines whose economics lie in single runs of 100,000 parts or more and in multi-shift operations.

The continued rate of growth in the industry hinges on the development of improved and new thermoplastics with greater physical properties. This has opened the door to applications never thought possible before. These are emerging both as product innovations and as existing products converted from materials such as metal, glass, wood or paper to plastics for competitive and economic advantage.
