Injection molds are subjected to high levels of pressure from the heated polymer melt. When this pressure is integrated across the surfaces of the mold cavities, forces result that typically range from tens to thousands of tons. The structural design of the mold must be robust enough to not only withstand these forces, but also to do so while producing high-quality molded products.
