manufacturing process that creates fully functional parts by injecting plastic resin into a pre-made mold. It has several sub categories, such as rapid injection molding, which is best utilized in fine tuning prototypes prior to a product being given the go-ahead for production. Another sub category, production injection molding, is best utilized for full product runs.
Developers utilize the thermoplastic injection molding process for many applications, as it can produce anything form car door panels to cell phone cases with good accuracy and surface finish. What's more is that it's the industry standard for producing plastic parts, so developers can be certain they're putting out a quality product if they go this route in the development process.
