Injection molding is a common 21st-century manufacturing method.
Thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers are the two types of materials used. However similar processes use glass (blow-molding), metal (die-casting), and elastomers.
Injection molding manufactures a vast array of day to day objects from IoT enclosures, transportation parts to kitchenware.
Injection molding is widely used as it has the ability to produce complex geometries at fast rates with feasible costs.
