Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mold. There are several types of injection molding processes and each with its own variations and applications. Here are some common types:

Plastic Injection Molding:
Applications: Used for a wide range of products, including automotive parts, packaging, toys, medical devices and consumer goods.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM):
Applications: Produces metal parts with complex shapes and high precision, commonly used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical industries.

Rubber Injection Molding:
Applications: Used to manufacture rubber products such as seals, gaskets, O-rings, and automotive components.

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Injection Molding:
Applications: Produces flexible and durable parts, commonly used in medical devices, baby products and consumer electronics.

Overmolding:
Applications: Combines two or more materials in a single part, providing functionalities like soft grips on hard tools, multi-material components in automotive applications, and more.

Bi-Injection Molding:
Applications: Enables the molding of two different materials or colors within a single cycle, often used in automotive interiors, consumer goods and medical devices.

Gas-Assisted Injection Molding:
Applications: Creates hollow sections in a part by injecting gas into the mold, commonly used in large plastic parts such as automotive panels and furniture.

Reaction Injection Molding (RIM):
Applications: Used for producing large and lightweight parts with a variety of surface finishes, often in automotive, furniture, and electronics.

Micro Injection Molding:
Applications: Used for very small and precise parts, common in medical devices, electronics, and microfluidic systems.

Thin-Wall Molding:
Applications: Designed for molding parts with thin walls, often used in packaging, electronics, and consumer goods.

Insert Molding:
Applications: Involves placing metal or other materials into the mold before injection, commonly used in electrical connectors, threaded fasteners, and encapsulated components.

Blow Molding:
Applications: Typically used for producing hollow parts like bottles and containers, especially in the packaging industry.

Powder Injection Molding (PIM):
Applications: Used for producing complex-shaped metal and ceramic parts, often in the aerospace, medical, and automotive industries.

Each type of injection molding has its advantages and is chosen based on factors such as material properties, part complexity, production volume and cost considerations. The choice of injection molding process depends on the specific requirements of the desired end product.
