Abstract
The versatility of the injection molding process has spawned a whole new generation of machines to fabricate special marketable products. Since 1872 when the first US injection molding machine patent was issued, a variety of specialized machines have been placed in service. They all Utilize the basic IMM principle of melting a plastic and forcing the melt into a cavity to produce a molded product. Many specialized IMM are actually well-documented machines and are extensively used for such applications as injection blow molding (1, 3, 4, 13, 14, 18, 54, 318).
