  • Step 2: Apply injection molding technology. First, the raw material will be put into the material hopper of the machine and heated to melt at a suitable temperature. Next, the molten material will be injected into the closed mold with great pressure through the screw system of the machine. The finished mold will be cooled so that the molten material in the mold turns to a solid state. Finally, open the mold to take out the finished product.
