Plastic injection moulding is perfect for very intricate parts. Compared to other techniques, moulding allows you to incorporate more features at very small tolerances.
2.Long service life
A decently made mould tool has a very long mould tool life, as long as it’s treated well by the moulding machine setters !
Cycle times can be as low as 10 seconds. Combine that with a multi-impression injection moulding tool and you get a LOT of products very quickly.
4.Little plastic waste
Part repeatability is very high for injection moulding. Even the sprues and runners (the leftover bits of plastic created by the ‘tunnels’ through which the plastic material reaches the actual mould) can be reground and the material reused.
