Friday, 9 September 2011. Injection moulding uses granulated plastic. The mould is the most important part of manufacturing. Granulated plastic is fed from the hopper into the injection moulding machine. Once the melted plastic has reached the end the screw pushes the melted plastic into the mould. Used to make anything with a slight indentation in.

Granulated or powdered thermoplastic material is heated, melted and the forced under pressure into a mould. Once in the mould the material cools, forming a component that takes the shape of the mould cavity. Good strength to weight ratio.

They are then carried by an Archimedes screw, through heating pads into a split mould. Compression moulding also uses heat in its process however in this process two shapes are pushed together with the mould inside of it and forms a specific shape.
