Demand of plastic is increasing at a rapid rate in India and across globe. Plastic is processed using plastic injection molding machine. In this article, plastic injection molding process and injection molding system is discussed in detail. Various factors which may affect the quality of product during production through plastic injection molding is also discussed. Defect in plastic injection molded product has also been discussed.
