Happy Friday LinkedIn! 😃
This week, we want to kick off a little series that we're going to call "Fun Injection Molding Fact Friday", where twice a month you'll get a quick fact related to the plastics injection molding industry and its history!
Fun Fact 💡: Thermoplastics injection molding dates all the way back to 1872, when brothers Isaiah and John Hyatt invented and patented the first injection molding machine. It was created to produce small household items such as combs, buttons, brushes, etc.
The image below is from circa 1937, and pictures one of the first US-built injection molding machines, produced by the HPM Corporation in Marion, OH.
If you want to learn more about the rich history of plastics injection molding, give us a follow and tune in every other Friday! 👍

Do you struggle with your new project?
Perhaps you have an interesting idea in your head. You want to have a nice-looking device with soft touch on the sides. The color should be eye catching so you can be visible on the market.
In such cases you often start looking for plastic injection molding suppliers with 2K machines who can make the 2K overmolding for the soft touch.
After a couple of weeks, you will be stunned by the costs of 2K plastic injection mold and a lot of potential partners of yours will be reluctant to work with you only for 10,000pcs per year.
Remember that there will be always a solution. I know someone who can support your needs.

Plastic injection molding is a highly efficient manufacturing process used to create complex plastic parts. It’s widely used in industries like automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, and more. we’ll explore some key data.
1. Cycle Time:
The average cycle time in plastic injection molding varies between 10 to 60 seconds, depending on the part size, material, and complexity. Cycle time consists of mold closing, injection, cooling, and mold opening. For high production volumes, reducing cycle time without sacrificing quality is crucial.
2. Clamping Force:
The clamping force of an injection molding machine is measured in tons and is directly related to the part size. Typical clamping force ranges from 50 tons for smaller parts to 4,000 tons for larger components. The right clamping force ensures that the mold stays closed during the injection process, preventing defects like flashing.
3. Material Utilization:
Injection molding allows for minimal waste, as the material is precisely injected into molds. Thermoplastics like ABS, PP, and nylon are the most common materials, each offering unique mechanical properties. The material’s melt temperature usually ranges between 200°C to 300°C.
4. Tolerance Levels:
Injection molding can achieve tight tolerances, typically around ± 0.001 to 0.005 inches, making it ideal for precision components used in electronics or medical devices.
5. Production Volume:
Injection molding is highly efficient for high-volume production. Costs per unit decrease significantly as volume increases, with molds lasting for hundreds of thousands to millions of cycles depending on maintenance and materials used.
Plastic injection molding remains one of the most efficient methods for high-volume production, offering numerous advantages like cost savings, precision, and material versatility. However, the high initial tooling costs and design limitations mean that it’s not always the right choice for low-volume or complex parts. Understanding the key data points—such as cycle time, material usage, and clamping force—helps optimize the process and ensure quality production.
