What Does ICM Stand For?
ICM stands for Injection Compression Molding
ICM, or Injection Compression Molding, is a specialized manufacturing process that combines the principles of injection molding and compression molding. In ICM, thermoplastic or thermosetting materials are first injected into a heated mold cavity, where they undergo compression to achieve the desired shape. This method is particularly effective for producing complex geometries with improved mechanical properties and reduced material waste. ICM is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods, offering increased efficiency, enhanced surface finish, and the capability to incorporate intricate designs.
