Injection Molding Products - Examples

Industries that Benefit from Injection Molding

Examples of injection molded products from different industries include:

Medical Industry: Silicone, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polypropylene, and polyethylene are all common materials used to make medical devices like syringes, orthopedics, and tubing.

Toys: The most common injection molding product example in toys are the famous bricks made by LEGO®. These plastic bricks are made of ABS — a lightweight material that is very moldable and has high impact resistance qualities.

Automotive: All types of injection molding products can be found on the inside and outside of cars and trucks. Examples of injection molding inside motor vehicles includes knobs and buttons on the dashboard, air vents, door handles, etc. Common molding materials chosen by automotive companies include nylon, polypropylene, PVC, and ABS.

Consumer Electronics: Everyday electronics are a great example of injection molding products. The outer shell of USB thumb drives and USB cables are injection molded. The housings on video game consoles are also injection molded. Video game controllers or power tools with a hard shell and softer grip are good examples of an injection molding process called over molding.
