Injection moulding is the manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould. The process has evolved over time and now allows manufacturers to produce an almost infinite range of parts composed of a variety of materials including plastic, metals, glass and elastomers.
Great inventions of modern history certainly include automobiles, aeroplanes, mobile phones, computers and the internet. We would add the processes and machines used for injection moulding to that list.
Plastic Injection Moulding
The process of plastic injection moulding was invented in the late nineteenth century and the first moulding machine was patented in 1872. Despite this machine appearing very simple by today’s standards, it actually paved the way for incredible growth in the plastic manufacturing industry, where basic items such as combs and buttons could be moulded from plastic and mass produced with incredible efficiency.
In the modern world, injection moulding has moved past just producing basic items. Advancement of injection moulding technology, paired with the use of computers, means the process is now used to manufacture parts in almost every industry, including technology, automotive, consumer electronics and home appliances.
Over the course of nearly 150 years, the process of injection moulding has barely changed, however, changes to the machines and technology surrounding it has sped up the process, increasing efficiency and driving production costs down.
