In what time frame does a plastic part need to be molded? What is the cost of an injection mold? Injection mold ownership: who owns it? What is the average time it takes to build an injection mold? Is it possible to change the design? Is it possible to modify the original injection mold? How long does a typical injection mold last? Mold cavities: what are they? How does a parting line work? An injection mold consists of two halves, "A" and "B". How do they differ? How does an ejector pin work? How does a gate work? How does Steel Safe work? What are the advantages of injection molding over other methods of manufacturing a part? With injection molding, we can mold fairly complex shapes at high production rates while maintaining good dimensional stability and holding fairly tight tolerances. It is possible
