FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
What are molds and what are they used for?
Molds are "forms" used to produce injection-molded plastic parts. The
type of mold and runner system selected depends on the design and complexity
of the part to be produced. For more information, read
Mold Building.
What is a runner system?
Runner systems describe the way that material is injected into the
cavities,
each with it's own advantages and disadvantages. There are two basic types
of runner systems; Hot Runner and Cold Runner. A variation of hot runners is
the insulated runner system, designed to reduce energy and production costs.
For more detailed information on runner systems, read
Hot Runner Mold,
Cold Runner Mold, and
Insulated Runner Mold.
What can be created or accomplished with the molds?
Injection molding is the most common method of manufacturing plastic
parts for a wide range of industries. They can produce parts with multiple
colors or materials, parts with internal or external threading, parts with
metallic, or other material, inserts.
More information about the uses of injection molds, read
Mold Building.
