5. Conclusion

Sizing plastic injection molding machines is essential to optimize production costs and energy consumption.

Similarly, optimizing set-up minimizes the environmental impact of injection molding production, by limiting rejects and the energy wastage associated with an unstable process. By minimizing cycle times, it contributes to industrial performance, which is bound to become increasingly demanding. Similarly, the increasing number of electric and hybrid presses, which are more energy-efficient, improves the overall energy balance of parts produced.

Special presses, such as multi-material systems, are playing an increasingly important role, enabling the manufacture of parts integrating ever more functions. However, this makes recycling much more difficult.
