If you’ve ever arranged a puzzle with incomplete pieces, then you probably understand what plastic process engineers feel when they experience short shot injection molding defects. 

The missing parts of such an incomplete puzzle often stick out like a sore pinky. In the case of injection molding, short shots don’t only stick out but are also a source of unpleasant experiences for end users.

Defects such as splay in injection molding are one of the reasons plastic products don’t do well in the market. You’ve baked a delicious cake, perfectly mixed and blended. But when you take it out of the oven, you notice something odd – a splotch of uneven color on the icing. 

That’s a bit like what splay is in the world of injection molding – an unexpected flaw that can mess up the whole masterpiece.

In the ever-evolving world of plastic manufacturing, two distinct techniques exist, thermoforming and injection molding. Having a discussion around thermoforming vs. injection molding often shows that these two methods have significantly transformed the plastic production process. 

1. Introduction Over the past few decades, the injection molding process has evolved significantly more than almost any other manufacturing process and has influenced the
