what is twin shot injection moulding?
Twin shot injection molding is a specialized process used in the manufacture of plastic parts. It involves injecting two different types of plastic into a single mold in a single injection molding machine. This allows manufacturers to produce parts with two different colors or two different types of plastic in a single operation.
In twin shot injection molding, the two types of plastic are typically injected through separate nozzles that are mounted on the injection molding machine. The plastic is then injected into a single mold, which has been designed to produce a part with two different sections. One section is formed from the first type of plastic, while the other section is formed from the second type of plastic.
Twin shot injection molding is often used to produce parts with complex shapes or intricate details that would be difficult to achieve using other manufacturing processes. It is also commonly used to produce parts with a two-tone color scheme or parts that require different types of plastic for specific functions.
