Injection molding is a process widely used in manufacturing to produce a variety of plastic products. From simple daily necessities to complex automotive parts, the injection molding process plays an important role. This article will detail the four key stages of the injection molding process to help you better understand this process.

#cell-QMMMdYRqxJdhgnD{order:0;}      In April 2025, Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an interview: "The core reason why Apple insists on manufacturing in China is not cheap labor, but China's irreplaceable 'skill density'." This view not only reveals the underlying logic of Apple's supply chain, but also reflects China's global competitiveness in the field of precision manufacturing. This article will deeply analyze how China has become the preferred partner for CNC processing and mold injection services for European and American companies by relying on its technical talent reserves, supply chain efficiency and innovation ecology. #cell-7GRgaiuYdSwt5JK{order:0;} 1. The core competitiveness of China's manufacturing: the transition from "cheap" to "skill density" #cell-7Ez1SRBBuOE7qIS{order:0;}  1.1 “Skill Density” in Cook’s Eyes #cell-X1ayZPY6E8vzj6k{order:0;}      Cook has repeatedly stressed that the core advantage of China's manufacturing industry lies in its large-scale and systematic talent pool. For example, the number of mold engineers in a certain province in China can "fill several football fields", while the United States "can't even gather enough engineers for a meeting." This gap stems from:Education system support: China's vocational education system focuses on training technical workers, covering high-skilled fields such as CNC programming and mold design.Industry chain collaboration: From raw materials (such as aluminum alloys and engineering plastics) to precision processing, China has formed a "one-hour industrial circle" to achieve rapid response and cost optimization. #cell-6eUrqyDHloBWEVQ{order:0;}  1.2 The “micrometer-level” threshold for precision manufacturing #cell-ocEcFNU7NS3zFFg{order:0;}      Apple products require mold precision up to micron level (such as the surface fit of iPhone shell), which relies on the following technological breakthroughs:Popularization of 5-axis CNC machining: China's leading factories have widely used 5-axis linkage machine tools, which can process complex curved parts with an accuracy of ±0.01mm.Injection molding process innovation: For example, the glass panel produced by Lens Technology for Apple Vision Pro uses high-precision hot bending technology, with a yield rate of over 99%. #unit-51DxwTGf9vsxjdB .ce-video_inner{justify-content:center;} × #unit-5xnM9ujRXiYvsrU .ce-video_inner{justify-content:center;} × #cell-lhD3z5svYZ3Qcr1{order:0;} 2. Four major driving forces for European and American companies to choose Chinese suppliers  2.1 The ultimate balance between cost and efficiency #unit-zLWmmq7Y2ss95OD [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:solid none solid none;border-width:1px;} Dimensions #unit-LDUT8AhIbAl7QZX [ce-data-type="text"]{border-width:1px;border-style:none none solid none;} Comprehensive cost #unit-k5WFaWgVQNKvW3y [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Delivery cycle #unit-3kOv2RoveFT0bsZ [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Technical adaptability #unit-9aWQNnIqvzp125w [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:solid none solid none;border-width:1px;} Chinese Manufacturers #unit-kxrzPwSJrjraZzg [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Labor + equipment depreciation costs are 30%-50% lower #unit-AzNRsKuaJigjFAy [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Average 2-4 weeks (relying on clustered supply chain) #unit-n9m3TFMZkARl4QT [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Support flexible production from prototype to mass production #unit-vXwT7pdTOOlmheQ [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:solid none solid none;border-width:1px;} European and American local suppliers #unit-1uVnWws9VuzPjbx [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} High labor cost, suitable for small batch customization #unit-lCcSineBaITa2EK [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Prefer standardized large-volume orders #unit-WkiinjqKU7WWeKk [ce-data-type="text"]{border-style:none none solid none;border-width:1px;} Complex parts take 6-8 weeks Case:A German car brand transferred its aluminum alloy wheel CNC processing orders to China, reducing costs by 40% and shortening delivery time to 3 weeks.A US medical company commissioned a Chinese manufacturer to produce disposable endoscope housings by injection molding, which passed ISO 13485 certification and had a defect rate of less than 0.1%. 2.2 Green Manufacturing and Compliance Carbon neutrality goal: China's leading suppliers (such as BYD and Luxshare Precision) have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality for Apple orders by 2030, using environmentally friendly materials such as recycled aluminum and bio-based plastics.Process optimization: Through AI-driven tool path planning, material waste in CNC processing is reduced, and the waste recovery rate exceeds 90%. #unit-9P1nmfcJeMm7AEP .ce-video_inner{justify-content:center;} × 3. The hidden advantages of China’s supply chain: Taking Apple as an example 3.1 Upgrading from “assembly” to “core technology” Cook clarified: "The iPhone is not only 'assembled in China', its core components (such as glass cover and metal structural parts) rely on the precision processing capabilities of Chinese manufacturers." For example:Lens Technology: Provides super-ceramic glass panels for iPhone, with 4 times higher drop resistance, relying on nano-level CNC polishing technology.Everwin Precision: Uses 100% recycled aluminum to manufacture MacBook shells, taking into account lightweight and environmental protection requirements. 3.2 Intelligentization and Digital Empowerment Industrial 4.0 factory: For example, BYD's "Using iPad to Produce iPad" project uses automated optical inspection (AOI) equipment to achieve real-time defect identification.Cross-border collaboration: Chinese manufacturers provide online quotation systems and production progress tracking platforms, and European and American customers can remotely monitor order status. 4. Cooperation Guide for European and American Enterprises: How to Select High-Quality Chinese Suppliers? 4.1 Key Evaluation Indicators Certifications: ISO 9001 (quality management), IATF 16949 (automotive), ISO 13485 (medical).Equipment list: factories equipped with high-end machine tools such as DMG MORI and MAZAK are preferred.Intellectual property protection: Sign an NDA agreement and select compliant suppliers that have served Apple, Tesla and other companies. 4.2 Risk Avoidance Strategies Phased cooperation: Start with small batch trial production (e.g. 500 pieces) to verify quality stability, and then expand to large-scale orders.Third-party quality inspection: CMM test report and material composition analysis certificate are required. 5. Future Trends: Challenges and Opportunities of Made in China Challenges: low-cost competition in Southeast Asia, and the "nearshore outsourcing" policy in Europe and the United States (such as the US "CHIP Act").Opportunities:High-end technology: China's 5-axis CNC machine tool localization rate is expected to reach 29.2% in 2029, breaking the monopoly of Germany and Japan.Globalization of services: China-Europe Express and RCEP agreements reduce cross-border logistics costs, and door-to-door time is compressed to 15 days. Conclusion：Cook's affirmation of Made in China confirms the core logic of "technological density" replacing "low cost" in the reconstruction of the global industrial chain. For European and American companies, choosing Chinese CNC processing and mold injection molding service providers is not only a cost consideration, but also a strategic investment in precision manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience.

#cell-Cp9SSCuIKkYGGPf{order:0;} ——Unveiling the secrets and application scenarios of the two processes #cell-kf0CdM6i37fNIij{order:0;}       In the world of plastic products, blow molding and injection molding are two major molding technologies, but their relationship is often misunderstood. Some people say that "blow molding is a type of injection molding", but in fact, the two are completely different! They are like a pair of "twin flowers". Although they belong to the field of plastic molding, they have their own advantages in principle, application and cost. This article will take you to explore the mysteries of these two processes in depth to help you find the most suitable solution. #cell-CgUpwlUXjL9z5IZ{order:0;} 1. Process principle: the game between air and pressure #cell-HPaIBB04V2RyftR{order:0;} Blow MoldingCore principle: Use compressed air to blow the softened plastic parison to fit the inner wall of the mold to form a hollow product.Steps: Heat the plastic → Extrude the parison → Close the mold and blow air → Cool and shape → Demold and trim.Key equipment: Blow molding machine, mold, air compressor.Typical applications: Hollow products such as plastic bottles, fuel tanks, and medical device containers. #cell-k58Kc5FXNme65RO{order:0;} Injection MoldingCore principle: Inject molten plastic into a closed mold at high pressure, and form solid or complex structural parts after cooling.Steps: molten plastic → high pressure injection → cooling and solidification → demoulding.Key equipment: injection molding machine, precision mold.Typical applications: solid or high-precision parts such as mobile phone cases, gears, and auto parts. #cell-2uXIAXOkqrjSHqV{background-position:50% 50%;order:0;background-image:none;}@media(max-width:1199px){#cell-2uXIAXOkqrjSHqV{background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(//img.yfisher.com/m0/1745569555781-2.png);}}#unit-z9F5YJ6rvmu2VOK .ce-image_inner{justify-content:center;}#unit-z9F5YJ6rvmu2VOK .ce-image_item{--svg-color:rgba(2, 190, 240,1);}#unit-z9F5YJ6rvmu2VOK .ce-image{--image-effect:1;} #cell-OEgPNwPXmsC11ds{order:0;}#unit-SL7hZmL01yBh8aM .ce-image_inner{justify-content:center;}#unit-SL7hZmL01yBh8aM .ce-image_item{--svg-color:rgba(2, 190, 240,1);}#unit-SL7hZmL01yBh8aM .ce-image{--image-effect:1;} #cell-hyan7R10TBNzCZB{order:0;} #cell-6XcG3j5zAxmACFU{order:0;} Comparison highlights: #cell-94eAG42VjY769wW{order:0;} Blow molding relies on air molding and is suitable for "hollow"; injection molding relies on high-pressure filling and specializes in "solid".Injection molds require extremely high precision (such as CNC processing), while blow molding molds are more flexible, but are prone to problems such as flash. #cell-pLfWQUCQSDEQBHr{order:0;} 2. The competition between materials and design #cell-9dC2YFjMmMi8Pa9{order:0;} Material selectionBlow molding: commonly used soft plastics (such as HDPE, LDPE, PP), suitable for containers with high flexibility requirements.Injection molding: compatible with hard plastics (such as ABS, PC, nylon), can add glass fiber to enhance performance.Design freedomBlow molding is limited to hollow structures, but can achieve complex curved surfaces (such as bottles with handles).Injection molding can produce precision parts with details such as threads and bosses, and even multi-color one-piece molding.Case highlights:The "star product" of blow molding: carbonated beverage bottles (stretch blow molding technology improves pressure resistance).The "masterpiece" of injection molding: foldable safety seats (complex structure + high-strength materials). #cell-2ooJkYRLo2KRXc8{order:0;} 3. Trade-off between cost and efficiency #cell-2jhFU9X23j0XwbF{order:0;} Initial investmentBlow molding molds are low cost (only one side mold is needed), and the machine price is more affordable.Injection molds are expensive (precision machining), but suitable for mass production to dilute the cost.Production cycleBlow molding is fast for single-piece molding, but post-processing (such as trimming) may increase the time consumption.Injection molding cycle is stable, and multi-cavity molds can produce dozens of parts at the same time, which is more efficient.Economic recommendations:Choose blow molding for small batches of hollow parts (such as customized containers);Choose injection molding for complex solid parts (such as electronic component housings). #cell-fslGsTW2aD3UOIj{order:0;} 4.

#cell-BqXGxD5EB2vr4IZ{order:0;} The science of injection molding machine tonnage: the watershed between small tonnage and large tonnage #cell-fHQ5jUgy5pMfjtn{order:0;}      In the field of plastic injection molding, the "tonnage" of an injection molding machine directly determines its capacity limit. Tonnage does not refer to the weight of the entire machine, but the size of its clamping force, measured in tons (T). This parameter represents the maximum closing force that the clamping system of the injection molding machine can exert, which is used to resist the huge expansion pressure generated when the molten plastic is injected into the mold. If the clamping force is insufficient, the mold will be stretched open, resulting in flash burrs; and excessive tonnage will cause energy waste and equipment loss.The calculation of clamping force follows the core formula:Clamping force (T) = product projection area (cm²) × mold pressure (kg/cm²) × safety factor / 1000The mold pressure depends on the material properties:Ordinary plastics (such as PP, PE): 250-350 kg/cm²Engineering plastics (such as PC, nylon): 350-500 kg/cm²The safety factor is usually 1.1-1.2. #cell-hsscrAED38AdJ8k{order:0;} 1. The core differences between injection molding machines of different tonnages #cell-e851tz2HjaVj4vP{order:0;} Injection molding machines can be divided into four categories according to tonnage, which have significant differences in mechanical structure, application scenarios and technical requirements:（1）Small machine (30-100 tons)Structural features: mostly vertical or angular design, mainly fully electric drive, small footprintInjection volume: usually ≤200 grams (based on PE)Typical applications:Electronic connectors (USB interface, SIM card tray)Precision gears (clocks, micro motor parts)Medical equipment (syringe needles, test tubes)Advantages: high precision (repeat error ±0.01mm), energy saving (60% less power than hydraulic presses), no oil pollution（2）Medium-sized machine (150-500 tons)Mainstream machine: hydraulic or hydraulic-electric hybrid drive, horizontal structureInjection volume: 300-2000 gramsApplication scenarios:Household appliance housing (rice cooker, vacuum cleaner housing)Daily necessities (washbasin, chair, toy)Automotive interior parts (dashboard frame, door handle)Technical highlights: Can be equipped with multi-color injection molding system (such as P-type/L-type double shot) to achieve dual-material composite molding（3）Large machine (600-1000 tons)Structural features: two-plate clamping mechanism, enhanced rigidity and mold opening spaceInjection volume: 2500-5000 gramsTypical products:Logistics pallet (1200×800mm standard size)Automobile bumperLarge trash canChallenge: Need to cooperate with mold temperature control system to prevent shrinkage of thick-walled parts（4）Ultra-large machine (>1000 tons)Representative models: Haitian 1600T, Fuqiangxin 1900T three-color machineCapacity indicators: up to 4000 tons, injection volume exceeds 20kgApplication areas:Automobile instrument panel (one-piece molding)Yacht deck partsLarge turnover box (volume>1000L)Innovative design: horizontal two-color machine (H type) with

Core principles and application scenarios of tonnage selection The cost of failed selectionInsufficient tonnage: product flash and size deviation (a mold that is stretched 0.1mm can lead to scrapping)Tonnage is too large: energy consumption increases by 30%-50%, the risk of mold deformation increases, and mold exhaust difficulties lead to burning Four-step scientific selection methodCalculate clamping forceTake the car bumper as an example: the projected area is 1200×600mm=7200cm², and the pressure in the PC mold is 400kg/cm²Theoretical clamping force = 7200×400×1.2/1000≈3456T → Select the 3500T modelTest toleranceMold size ≤ tie rod spacing (such as the tie rod spacing of the 1000T machine is usually 1200×1200mm)Mold thickness ∈ [minimum mold thickness, maximum mold thickness] (for example: the mold thickness range of 350T machine is 150-450mm)Ensure demoulding spaceMold opening stroke needs to be > product height×2 + runner length (deep cavity parts need to add an additional 20% margin)Match injection systemFinished product weight should be ≤ Theoretical shot volume × 75% (leave a safety margin)For thin-walled parts, choose a small screw (high pressure and high speed), and for thick-walled parts, choose a large screw (high plasticizing capacity)Industry scenario applicationElectronic industry (below 100T): Connectors use a 30mm diameter screw, and the shot speed ≥300mm/s ensures fillingHome appliance industry (300-800T): Air-conditioning panels use hot runner molds + 650T machines to reduce runner wasteAutomotive industry (>1000T): Door panels use a double-station turntable three-color machine to achieve one-time molding of substrate + soft glue + logoMedical industry (50T fully electric): Syringe production is equipped with a Class 100 clean room to avoid hydraulic oil pollution 3. Future trends in technology evolution and tonnage selection The selection of injection molding machine tonnage is undergoing three major technological changes:Energy-saving driveAll-electric injection molding machines (such as FANUC Roboshot) replace hydraulic presses below 100T, reducing energy consumption by 60%; the penetration rate of hybrid technology in large machines increases (such as Haitian MA series)Intelligent control systemIoT module monitors clamping parallelism in real time (deviation of >1000T machine needs to be ≤0.1mm/m)AI algorithm dynamically optimizes the pressure holding curve, reducing the molding cycle of large-tonnage machines by 15%Specialized developmentMicro injection molding machine (<10T): used for medical microfluidic chips, injection accuracy ±0.002gMulti-component large machine: such as Fuqiangxin FB-1900R three-color machine, turntable diameter 2250mm, serving the integrated molding of automobile lampshadesIn the future, with the application of new materials (such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics), the clamping accuracy requirements for high-tonnage machines will be further improved, and modular design will make tonnage adjustment more flexible-by replacing the screw assembly, the same clamping unit can cover the injection range of ±30%. 4. Conclusion The selection of injection molding machine tonnage is like deploying troops for a battle: too little will not be enough, and too much will be a waste of money and effort. From a connector the size of a fingernail to a car bumper several meters long, the difference in tonnage is the result of the deep collaboration of material science, mechanical design, and control algorithms. In the future, with the advancement of energy-saving technology and intelligence, tonnage selection will no longer be based solely on empirical formulas, but will be dynamically optimized based on real-time data, pushing plastic molding into a new era of "tailor-made".
