An injection mold is the central component of any plastics molding workcell, and it plays a crucial role in the success of a plastic part. Understanding the principles of injection mold design and its significance is essential for achieving product success. This book aims to guide designers, engineers, project managers, and production managers in ensuring that the injection mold they design will function as intended.

The book begins by delving into the process of conceptualizing and designing an injection mold that can produce the desired plastic part. Since the design process starts with the plastic part itself, the book will first focus on key features and details that are essential for good mold design. The design of the primary components of an injection mold will be discussed, and best practices for mold design will be shared.

Furthermore, the book will detail the process of testing and gaining customer acceptance of the mold for production. A comprehensive appendix and detailed drawings will provide the necessary detail for completing a mold design. By following the guidance provided in this book, designers, engineers, project managers, and production managers can ensure that their injection molds are efficient, reliable, and capable of producing high-quality plastic parts.
