Start the quiz!

Over the following pages you will be asked a series of questions, lets see how much you’ve learned about injection moulding!!

Good Luck!

BUGjitter

The Metal mould which has to be

hand/CNC machined to produce it.

The plastic which is used for the

product

Next Question!

• Injection moulding is a process which has expensive start up costs, therefore we only use it for which kind of production?

BUGjitter

One off – where only singular items

are produced

Mass production – where many items

are produced.(1000+)

Batch production – where up to 1000 items are made

before the design changes

• Injection moulding is a fantastic process as it allows us to…what?

BUGjitter

Make items many times, although they are never identical which can cause

issues.

Make many items, which are always

identical, and really intricate shapes

which are hard to make by other

methods.

Produce items only once, but they are

really complex shapes which are

hard to make by other methods.

Next Question!

• The plastic enters the machine, in what form does it do this?

BUGjitter

The plastic is in the form of granules of

plastic powder, which enters through a

‘hopper’

The plastic is brought in from recycling

plants, and is in the form old bottles and tesco carrier bags, these are dropped into the machine

The plastic is in huge blocks, which are pushed into the machine on a conveyor belt

Next Question!

• We used injection moulding to produce our weight for our jitterbug, why did we use this process?

BUGjitter

We used this process as it is

environmentally friendly as plastic is a

renewable source

By using injection moulding we could

make the weight in a nice yellow colour

It allowed us to mould plastic around a bolt,

without which we would not be able to

secure it to our design
