Did you know that injection molding is used for making medical devices, tools and equipment?

Medical injection molding can be used to create components for dental X-ray equipment, catheter locks, diagnostic testing kit components, personal protection equipment, microfluidic devices, and surgical and drug delivery equipment. It is amazing to see how many examples there are of medical devices made using injection molding with plastics.

Why Use Injection Molding?

Plastic and metal injection molding processes are highly cost-effective and faster methods to produce objects at a higher speed with shorter lead times. It is ideal for manufacturing both large and small volume products with higher quality. Injection molding is a repeatable process, and once the master mold is ready, several copies are easier to produce with the same detailing.

As this method supports a wide range of materials, higher customization is possible. Injection molding offers an excellent surface finish in both plastic and metal materials.

Can you name things you use everyday that is molded using injection molding?

Injection Molding for the Airlines

We’ve recently had the opportunity to quote to the major airlines a few injection molding projects. There are many benefits to using injection molding in the airline industry.

Here are some of the most important benefits that injection molded components provide to the airlines industry:

High Strength
Lightweight
Precision Components
Repeatability
Scalability
Versatility
Rapid Prototyping

Some of the most common injection molded parts for the airlines include:

    Housings
    Lenses
    Bezels
    Fuse covers
    Chassis components
    Panels
    Turbine blades
    Weapon components
    Panels
