With so many plastic injection moulded products surrounding us in our day-to-day lives it is no surprise that making these products is big business. The tool making machines that create these plastic injection moulds are very intricate machines, but they give us the ability to create products by the hundreds of thousands - all immaculately, and all to the same precise specifications.
