Thermoplastic injection molding is a common process used for the mass production of parts by using specialized machines. The technique works by injecting molten thermoplastic resin into a mold under high pressure, where it is held until cooled into solid form. If you have ever been curious to learn more about this important process, then you are in luck! Read through this guide and discover what is possible with thermoplastic injection molding.

You’ve designed your part, created the tooling, and are ready to begin the plastic injection molding process. But then, there is a change of plans.

If you’ve ever flipped open a bottle of ketchup or tube of toothpaste, you’ve used a living hinge. A living hinge is formed as an extension of the base and cap material, which in many cases is polypropylene plastic. This thin piece of material between the base and cap is flexible, allowing the cap to be bent out of the way as the contents of the container are dispensed and then returned to the closed position. Living hinges can be created in a number of ways, but one of the most cost-effective methods is plastic injection molding.
