Discussion on key technologies and innovations

3.1 Advanced injection molding technology and material application

In the process of improving the production efficiency of injection molded products, the application of advanced injection molding processes and materials plays a vital role. With the advancement of science and technology, the injection molding process continues to innovate, and new materials emerge in endlessly, bringing unprecedented efficiency improvements to injection molding production. For example, micro-injection molding technology can realize the molding of complex structures on the micron scale by precisely controlling injection pressure and temperature. This not only improves product accuracy and performance, but also significantly shortens the production cycle. According to industry data, compared with traditional injection molding processes, micro-injection molding technology can shorten the production cycle by more than 30%.

In terms of material application, the introduction of high-performance engineering plastics has injected new vitality into injection molding production. These materials not only have excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, but also maintain stable performance in extreme environments. Taking automobile parts as an example, injection-molded parts made of high-performance engineering plastics not only reduce the weight of the vehicle body, improve fuel economy, but also enhance the safety and comfort of the vehicle. According to a well-known automobile manufacturer, by introducing high-performance engineering plastics, the production cost of its parts has been reduced by about 20%, while product performance has been significantly improved.

In addition, the rise of bio-based and degradable materials has also brought new environmentally friendly options to injection molding production. These materials are derived from renewable resources, such as plant starch, cellulose, etc., and can reduce carbon emissions and environmental pollution during the injection molding process. At the same time, they also have good biodegradability and can quickly decompose in the natural environment, reducing waste disposal costs. According to statistics from environmental protection organizations, the carbon footprint of products produced by injection molding using bio-based and degradable materials can be reduced by more than 50% during the entire life cycle compared with traditional materials.

In summary, the application of advanced injection molding processes and materials is an important way to improve the production efficiency of injection molded products. By continuously introducing new technologies and new materials, injection molding production can not only achieve efficient, precise, and environmentally friendly production goals, but also bring significant economic and social benefits to enterprises. As the famous management scientist Peter Drucker said: "Innovation is the soul of enterprise development." In the field of injection molding production, continuous technological innovation and material application innovation will be the key to promoting the sustainable development of the industry.
