What Is The Difference Between 3D Printing Technology And Injection Molding?

Some friends will be curious about the difference between 3D printing technology and injection molding?

Production mode: As long as there are injection molds in the injection molding process, standardized products can be mass-produced at low cost. Therefore, for traditional mass, large-scale manufacturing, injection molding is still the best choice at present. However, 3D printers can automatically, quickly, directly and accurately convert the 3D design in the computer into a physical model without the need for traditional tools, fixtures, machine tools or any molds. Due to the characteristics of the 3D printer, it is very different from the traditional injection molding process. The more complex and non-solid the object, the faster the processing speed, the more raw material costs can be saved. So they are better at making personalized and diversified products.

Plastic injection molding refers to a method in which a completely melted plastic material is mixed with a screw at a certain temperature, injected into a mold cavity with high pressure, and cooled and solidified to obtain a molded product. This process began in the 1920s and has a history of nearly a hundred years. It is currently widely used and mature industrial manufacturing technology.
