ABSTRACT
Injection molding is a cyclic process of forming and appropriate additives from the hopper to
plastic into a desired shape by forcing the material heating/injection system of the plastic injection
under pressure into a cavity. The shaping is achieved moulding machine. This is the “filling stage”
stage in which
by cooling (thermoplastics) or by a chemical reaction the mould cavity is filled with hot melted polymer at
