🛠 What Is a Plastic Injection (Molding) Machine?
A plastic injection machine (also known as an injection molding machine) is industrial equipment that injects molten plastic into a precision-machined mold cavity. After cooling, the plastic part adopts the mold’s shape. Desktop versions—like the Intermolder Compact—enable small-scale, high-precision part production

🧭 Injection Process Overview
Hopper & Melting — Plastic granules are melted in a heated barrel.
Injection — The molten resin is forced into a closed mold under pressure.
Cooling & Solidification — The plastic cools and takes the mold shape.
Ejection — The part is pushed out and the next cycle begins.
Each cycle is fully controlled electronically for consistency and quality.
