There are countless ways that injection molding can be used both for domestic and commercial needs. The following are some of the core applications that are being heavily relied upon in the modern world.
Building and Construction
The cost of construction has been going up due to dwindling raw materials. To beat this shortage, many in the building industry are now turning to alternative methods like using plastics and this comes in the form of injection molded parts.
Food and Beverage Packaging
Food and beverage have always relied on old packaging solutions over the years that have involved plastics. But the demand for them has gone on to outstrip the supply. This has forced packaging companies to find new mass-production methods of keeping up with this demand.
Medical and Pharmaceuticals
This is another major industry that has to rely on very accurate equipment in order to administer health care appropriately without any errors. Most of the equipment made for hospitals is constructed using either plastic or glass. This can only be made accurately and faster-using injection molding.
Automotive Parts
Cars are made of very many parts that have to work together to make the car safe. Besides the heavy metallic parts, there are other areas that have to be made using plastic in order to balance out the weight of the entire structure.
Electronic Housings
Everyone uses some form of electronic equipment in their houses and offices. From TV screens, computers, music systems, and others. Most of these use highly advanced electronic parts that are housed inside plastic casings. The best way to construct them is through injection molding.
Household Appliances and Utensils
Daily use appliances like fridges, microwaves, cookers, laundry machines and many others require plastic designed parts for them to work properly. This is a process that can only be handled efficiently with injection molding.
