: Made from aluminum or epoxy, these are cheaper and faster to produce but only last for a few hundred or thousand cycles.
: Melted plastic resin is forced into the mould cavity.
: The two halves of the mould are held together under high pressure.
: Includes the sprue, runners, and gates that guide the molten plastic into the cavity. Beginner Design Guidelines
