What is the difference between Blow molding and Injection molding?

 

Blow molding and injection molding are both types of molding processes, but they involve different techniques and materials.

Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which plastic or metal is heated to a liquid state, and then injected into a mold. The mold is a pre-made shape or form that the material takes on as it cools and solidifies. Once the material has hardened, the mold is opened and the part is removed. Injection molding is typically used to create a wide variety of parts and components, including toys, household items, and automotive parts.

Blow molding, on the other hand, is a manufacturing process in which a tube of plastic is heated and then inflated into a mold. The mold is a pre-made shape or form that the tube of plastic takes on as it cools and solidifies. Once the material has hardened, the mold is opened and the part is removed. Blow molding is typically used to create hollow parts and components, such as bottles, containers, and toys.

One of the main differences between the two processes is the type of part that is produced. Injection molding produces solid parts, while blow molding produces hollow parts. Another difference is that blow molding process requires two stages, the first stage is to create a tube of plastic called parison and the second stage is to inflate the parison inside the mold, while in injection molding process, the material is directly injected into the mold.
