When we go about our days, we don’t often think about how our belongings have been created, but many items that we use on a daily basis are created through plastic injection molding. The next time you use any of these three everyday items created with plastic injection molding, you may gain a greater appreciation for designers, prototyping, and the machinery that created them.

Automotive Components

Many parts of our automobiles are comprised of plastic parts made with injection molding. For example, the dashboard, radio controls, cupholders, trunk and truck bed liners, and doorsteps are usually made of plastic. None of these would be as durable as they are if it weren’t for their design through the plastic injection molding process. 

Culinary Creation and Safety

You go into the kitchen and start cooking a meal. The smell of your culinary creation fills the room. With the food almost done cooking, you grab utensils, plates, and cups for yourself and your family. This scenario wouldn’t be the same without plastic injection molding techniques. Plastic injection molding provides us with many of the culinary experiences we have today—thanks to the design factors and specifications that plastic injection mold designers consider, we can enjoy kitchenware that’s safe and temperature resistant.

The Porcelain Throne

One of the most-used but least-talked-about parts of your home exists because of plastic injection molding. You guessed it: the porcelain throne. Toilet seats actually come in many different shapes and sizes. These important variations are all thanks to meticulous design through plastic injection molding. Additionally, having a toilet seat that’s bacteria resistant and nonporous is important… Say no more, right? Thank you, plastic injection molding, for making unmentionable moments comfortable ones.  

Safety, comfort, and durability are present in many everyday items thanks to plastic injection molding. Vehicles, kitchenware, and toilet seats just scratch the surface. Whether you’re an inspiring designer or an everyday user of these items, we can all appreciate how plastic injection molding design has benefited our daily lives.
