Generation

Injection molding is a manufacturing process where melted plastic is forced under high pressure into a hollow metal mold, much like injecting cake batter into a pan. The plastic cools and hardens into the exact shape of the mold cavity, then the mold opens and ejects the finished part. This process is ideal for mass-producing identical plastic items quickly and efficiently—everything from LEGO bricks to phone cases to car dashboards is made this way. The molds are expensive to create initially, but once you have one, you can produce thousands or millions of identical parts at low cost per piece.
