Injection Molding Terms and Tools

To become an expert, one must start with injection molding terms.

Every molding project has a set of challenges which managers and engineers must know of and respond to accordingly. It is complex to design plastic parts or equipment; requiring you to identify and consider many factors, depending on the requirements of the application.

A number of questions have to be asked and decisions made at the onset of the project.

• How will the part be used?
• How must the part fit with other parts in the assembly?
• What degree of wear and degradation will the part endure?
• What other structural, functional and processing issues must be assessed for the part?

A good first step of a successful injection molding project is to understand the terminology. There are a number of basic terms to understand in the injection molding process that can be integral to ensuring proper manufacturing and assembly, as well as strength and part life.
