silicone rubber.
Q2: Will 3D printing replace injection molding?
A2: No, 3D Printing Won't Replace Injection Molding.
Injection molding requires the use of a specialized machine. injection molding machines
can typically create objects faster, more efficiently, and in many cases, with better
dimensional accuracy than 3D printers.
Q3: What are the pros and cons of injection moulding?
A3:1.lt allows for complex geometries with tight tolerances.
2. It's compatible with a wide range of materials and colors.
3. lt's very efficient.
4. It offers high repeatability and reliability.
5. You can reuse material.
6. Start-up costs are high.
7.initial lead times are long.
Q4:ls injection moulding cheap or expensive?
A4: The start-up costs for a large run can be expensive, but the price for the project
becomes better and better as you continue to produce. lf you're looking at price per unit,
plastic injection molding is one of the cheapest, most cost-efficient forms of manufacturing.
Q5:ls injection molding faster than 3D printing?
A5: Injection molding is ideal for high-volume production and for projects with longer
turnaround times. Although it can be used with parts of various sizes, injection molding
offers less design freedom. 3D is better for low-volume production runs, designs with
frequent changes, and projects with quick turnaround times.
Q6: How effective is injection moulding?
A6: Efficient high production.Once you have developed the moulds, the process is
extremely fast with cycle times as short as 10 seconds. lt is excellent for medium
and high-volume production runs for anything from 10,000 parts to well over 100,000
depending on what moulds you use.
