mold in injection molding
The mold in injection molding is a precision-engineered tool that defines the shape and structure of the final product. It is primarily used to contain the molten plastic as it cools and solidifies, ensuring the item maintains its dimensions and features accurately. Main functions of the mold include shaping the plastic part, guiding the flow of material, and facilitating the ejection of the final product. Technological features such as multi-cavity designs, hot-runner systems, and wear-resistant materials enhance efficiency and part quality. Applications span across various industries, from automotive and electronics to healthcare and consumer goods, due to the versatility and precision achievable with molds in injection molding.
