  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000280",
  "term": "Plastic injection molding",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A manufacturing method that forms plastic parts by forcing heated, liquefied plastic material into a mold cavity under high pressure. Once the plastic cools and solidifies, the mold opens, and the finished part is ejected. This process is widely used for mass production due to its efficiency and ability to create complex geometries with high precision.",
