Qu'est-ce que le moulage par injection ?
Injection molding is a manufacturing process that produces parts by injecting molten material into precision-machined molds. The injection mold tool contains a cavity where molten plastic is injected under high pressure (up to 200 MPa) where it cools and solidifies. This versatile process accommodates a wide range of molding materials including thermoplastics, thermoset polymers, and elastomers, making it ideal for producing everything from automotive components to medical devices.
The plastic part injection molding process delivers exceptional part consistency with minimal waste, making it the most cost-effective manufacturing method for medium to high-volume production runs.
Key Process Stages
- Serrage: The injection molding machine secures mold halves with forces up to 3000 tons
- Injection: The inject unit pushes molten plastic into the mold cavity
- Dwelling/Packing: Pressure maintained to compensate for material shrinkage (0.4-2%)
- Refroidissement: Material cools and solidifies (typically the longest stage of the cycle)
- Ejection: Finished molded parts removed from the mold

How does Our Injection Molding Process Ensure Quality?
Our injection moulding process follows a rigorous methodology to ensure consistent, high-quality injection molded parts that meet or exceed specifications. The process begins with thorough design review and tooling design analysis to identify potential issues before production. We then create precision molds using advanced Usinage CNC, following SPI standards from Class 105 (prototype) to Class 101 (high-volume production tooling). During production, our experienced team operates with precise control of heat and pressure, and cycle time to maintain part consistency.

What Surface Finishes are Available for Injection Molded Parts?
Finition de la surface quality significantly impacts both the appearance and functionality of injection moulded parts. We offer a complete range of surface finish options from mirror-gloss (A-1) to textured (D-3) to meet diverse application requirements. High-gloss finishes (SPI-A grades) are achieved through diamond buffing with grit levels from 6000 to 1200, creating surfaces with Ra values as low as 0.012 μm.
Surface Finish Options

|---|---|---|---|
| A-1 to A-3 | Mirror to High Gloss | 0.012–0.10 μm | Optical parts, consumer products |
| B-1 to B-3 | Semi-Gloss | 0.05–0.28 μm | Electronics, automotive interiors |
| C-1 to C-3 | Matte | 0.28–0.55 μm | Functional parts, industrial products |
| D-1 to D-3 | Textured | 0.55–1.50 μm | Non-slip surfaces, industrial plastic injection molding |

Injection Molding Services FAQs
The primary tools include the injection mold tool (cavity and core plates), the injection molding machine (barrel, screw, injection unit), and auxiliary equipment. Production tooling typically uses hardened tool steel, while prototype tooling often uses aluminum. Supporting tools include temperature controllers, material dryers, robotic systems, and quality inspection equipment for consistent part production.
The injection nozzle size depends on material viscosity, part size, and design complexity. Standard thermoplastics typically use 3-8 mm diameter nozzles, while micro injection molding applications may use smaller diameters down to 0.5 mm. Our team selects the optimal injection setup based on part volume, gate size, and flow path length to ensure proper filling of the mold cavity.
Two-shot injection molding is a manufacturing method where two different materials are molded together in a single process. The first material creates a base component, then a second material is injected, creating a chemical or mechanical bond without assembly. This technique produces parts with different colors, textures, or properties (rigid and flexible sections) in one production cycle, commonly used for tool handles with soft grips and multicolored components.
