Whither injection molding? Important advances are still anticipated for the "mature" old-timer with a youthful vitality. New design ideas will be added to the long list stemming from the first U.S. patent for an injection molding machine, awarded in 1872. Jump to 1956, when the reciprocating screw came on the scene; to 1979, for the introduction of the multiparameter SPC monitor; and to the ubiquitous microprocessor and the many other technological boosts it facilitated, including, not least, the ability to recognize and control on-line processing problems.
