Plastics Injection Moulding Technology - Theory and Practice
A thorough appreciation of the injection moulding process is important for product designer/developers and moulding production manager/supervisors as well as people involved in quality control/assurance and technical service. Each will benefit from a broader and deeper understanding of the whole process and how product design and material choices affect the process and cost of production. Common moulding faults can be identified and avoided and good moulding practice recognised. Product designer/developers in particular will benefit from a better understanding of the process and industry terminology.
