<p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Short shot of plastic is injected into the cavity</li>
<li>Nitrogen gas (usually 100-350 bar) is injected through gas pins</li>
<li>Gas pushes the melt forward, filling the cavity completely</li>
<li>Gas pressure is held during cooling to prevent sink marks</li>
<li>Gas is vented before mold opens</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Key Benefits:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>20-40% material savings on thick parts</li>
<li>Eliminates sink marks without long cooling time</li>
<li>Reduces clamp tonnage requirement by 30-50%</li>
<li>Shorter cycle times (15-30% faster)</li>
<li>Better surface quality - no witness lines on A-surface</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Common Applications:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Automotive: Door handles, mirror housings, dashboards</li>
<li>Appliances: Vacuum cleaner handles, washing machine panels</li>
<li>Consumer: Power tool housings, chair armrests</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Design Guidelines:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Wall thickness: 2-4mm for gas channel areas</li>
<li>Gas channel should follow natural fiber flow path</li>
<li>Gas pin location should be downstream of gate</li>
<li>Use CAE simulation to predict gas penetration</li>
</ul>

<p>GAIM is especially cost-effective when consolidating multi-part assemblies into single molded components.</p>
