A combination of the manufacturing technologies of injection molding and stretch blow molding is the injection-stretch-blow-molding. It is used to produce hollow parts in small to medium sizes (e.g. PET bottles).
The process can be described with 5 steps:
1. Injection molding and possibly conditioning
2. Changing of cavity
3. Stretch-blow molding / Blow molding
4. Ejection of part
