The basic methods with MASTER plastic custom injection mould

Although the MASTER plastic injection mould process has changed, the basic methods have not altered overly much. As soon as a form of plastic was created that could be heated and shaped easily people began to look for a way to create three dimensional objects easily and consistently. The MASTER custom injection moulding process followed shortly after. The process itself is very simple. Plastic granules are used as a base material. These granules may be made up of only one type of plastic or they may be made up of a mixture. The granules may also include other materials that will give the finished products specific properties or qualities. These products are fed from a hopper into a heated chamber that melts the plastic down so that it becomes moldable. After the plastic has melted in the barrel, it is pushed by a plunger through a nozzle and into a mold.
