  • Injection molding tool

    The injection molding tool is a continuous mold used to produce components with an injection molding machine. The injection molding tool usually consists of metal and has a cavity which determines the shape and surface structure of the produced part. During injection molding, the injection molding tool is filled with plasticized plastic under pressure. Subsequently, the material cools down in the injection molding tool and thereby hardens. After the tool has been opened, the molded part can be removed. Injection molding tools are used to produce various components with weights of a few tenths of grams up to 150 kg. The process enables economical and efficient series production and therefore enjoys great popularity in the plastics processing industry.
