A:Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process that produces parts through the heat-based injection of molten plastic materials into a mold. The molten plastic then hardens, thus creating a component or part with the exact shape and specifications of the hollow mold. This process is used to produce high volumes of parts without sacrificing manufacturing accuracy or speed – and its benefits are catching on. In fact, the global injection molding market was valued at $283.54 billion in 2016, and demand is still on the rise.
