What are the differences between injection-molded and extruded WPC for sculptures?

When choosing Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) for sculptures, understanding the differences between injection-molded and extruded WPC is crucial. Injection-molded WPC is created by injecting molten material into a mold, resulting in highly detailed and complex shapes with smooth finishes. This method is ideal for intricate designs but tends to be more expensive due to mold costs.

Extruded WPC, on the other hand, is formed by pushing material through a die, producing continuous profiles like boards or beams. It’s more cost-effective and suitable for larger, simpler sculptures but lacks the fine detail of injection-molded pieces.

Durability varies too: injection-molded WPC often has higher density and strength, while extruded WPC may be lighter but less robust. Consider your project’s design complexity, budget, and structural needs when selecting the right WPC method for your sculpture.
