Summary of the properties of the discussed methods.

Method	Disadventage	Adventage	Application
WAIM	Not for multicavity molds and transparent parts.	Thiner walls, better surface quality.	Pipes, chers, and rattan baskets.
GAIM	Complicated rheology model and mold.	Reduce warpage, lower clamping force, thin wall. Reduce cost of raw material.	Lightwidth products.
Microcellular IM	Aspect	Reduce mass and material consumption, enviromental friendly.	Aviation, automotive, and medical industries.
VMTT	Cost of equpment, longe cycle time.	Very good quality product.	Automotive, households.
MM	Parting line and degating issue.	Able to produce 0.1 g components.	Microbearings and pistons, biodegradable implants, endoscopics, and surgery.
RTCM	Long cycle time.	Good quality.	High gloss elements.
Multicomponent	Complicated mold and injection machine.	Multicolor and multifunction elements.	Swimming googles, protectors, elements for the car body, table tennis racket
Metal IM	High initial investment, size of parts.	Wide range of complicated shapes is able to produce.	commercial, medical, dental, and firearms industry.
RIM	Slow cycle time, expensive row matelials.	High density surface on low density core.	Automotive bumpers, spoilers, and fenders.
