This introduction provides an overview of the injection molding process and all its related aspects, such as material behavior, machine and mold design.

Although the book is highly useful to advanced professionals, it is written in clear, simple language to enable beginners to understand the technology. In discussing the various operations related to the injection molding process, emphasis is placed on practical ways of processing and using plastics. The second edition is expanded to include all industrially relevant special injection molding techniques developed since the publication of the first edition.
