 Penn Plastics: FAQ on Plastic Injection Molding
Injection molding becomes insert molding when a specifically designed insert (typically of metal) is nested in the mold before the molten plastic is injected.
In injection molding, a mold is a specially designed metal tool consisting usually of a "mold base" and one or more "cavities." The cavities are contoured to the exact specifications of the desired product, and it is into these cavities that the molten plastic is forced and hardens.
Considerations for the design of a mold base include 1) the proper transmission of molten plastic along a system of channels (called "runners,") 2) the precise cooling and/or secondary heating necessary for a given part, and 3) the separating and ejecting of the part from the mold (and any runner) after it is complete.
