Full Shot Process
Assisted Injection Molding (AIM) is part of a family of technologies that are operated with plastics processing methods to improve product quality and significantly reduce cost. The technologies include the injection of gas or water at high pressure into plastic in an injection mold. This cores out sections of the part, leaving hollow areas which lower part weight and cycle time.
The cavity is completely filled with melt - at the flow path end the gas injection begins.
The molten core is pushed back into the barrel of the molding machine and the screw is withdrawn.
