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
