injection molding is one of the most common manufacturing processes used to produce plastic goods. It is a high-demand process that can reproduce the same part thousands of times. The process starts with a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file that contains a digital copy of the part. The CAD file is then used as a set of instructions to aid in the mold manufacturing process. The mold, or tool, is typically made from two pieces of metal. A cavity in the shape of the part is cut into each side of the mold. This mold is usually made from aluminum, steel, or an alloy.
