Basically, Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. Plastic molding is a process where plastic is molded into the desired shape. As the plastic has the features like high malleability, cheap in cost, high stability it is widely used in molding.

Injection moulding is used to manufacture a wide range of plastic products. The process is very fast. Complicated shapes can be made from both thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. The injection molding process requires the basic things i.e an plastic injection mold, raw plastic material, and a mold. An Injection molding machine consists of two main parts, an injection unit and a clamping unit. The Plastic injection moulding machines have basic component parts such as material hopper, heating unit, plunger etc. These plastic injection machine parts are used to build pressure and keep the moulds in proper order to give the perfect shape once the molten material is poured inside it. 

For common understanding, in the process of plastic injection mold, the plastic is melted in the injection molding machine and then injected into the mold, where it cools and solidifies into the final part. During the plastic molding process Plastic mold plays a very vital role but the precision molds are also very much essential. Though plastic is a versatile substance but precision molding is needed in order to get the useful shape. Without precision measurement tools, it is almost impossible to build a plastic injection mould.
