injectionformed

Injectionformed is a term used in manufacturing and design to describe objects produced by an injection-based forming process, in which material is forced into a mold or cavity under pressure and then solidified, cured, or cross-linked. The term is often used to emphasize the forming mechanism rather than the raw material alone.

Its usage is informal and not universally standardized. In some contexts it is treated as synonymous with

Common process characteristics include the rapid production of complex geometries, good dimensional accuracy, and compatibility with

Materials used in injectionformed processes span thermoplastics and thermosets, ceramics and composites, and increasingly bioinks or

Key considerations include tool wear and mold maintenance, cycle time optimization, material selection, and post-processing requirements
