Reduce Cycle Time in Gas Assist Injection Molding by 20-50%

January 17, 2018

Over the past few decades, the use of Gas Assist Injection Molding (GAIM) has been expanding in North America and elsewhere in the world. GAIM is an injection molding process whereby the molten polymer is injected into the mold followed by an injection of pressurized gas into one or more thick sections of the part. The injected gas forces the molten polymer out of the center of the thick section. The polymer is cooled by the surface of the mold cavity resulting in a hollow part.
